There is just no way, imo, that the Mavs are willing to go into the season with a Gortat/Hollins center rotation. I could be wrong, obviously, but I believe very strongly that I'm not.

So yes, the idea that the Mavs have acquired an upgrade over Damp, right now, in some people's eyes absolutely makes me want to slam my head against my desk.
If he's not coming here to replace Damp, then he's coming here to back him up. Using the full MLE on a backup player *might* give one reason to bang head on desk.
