Default RE: Dampier - 73 million, Devin Harris...

I thought we did a damn good job of addressing the center situation with good smart pickups like MBenga, Pavel, and Booth.
You're quoting +/- stats in your criticism of Dampier, so I'm surprised you haven't taken the time to look at the +/- for DJ and Booth, who are the 2nd and 3rd lowest rated players on the team by that measure at -39.1 and -20.7 respectively.

As for Damp's +/-, if you'd bothered to check the stats yourself you'd have noticed that Damp's +/- has climbed from being in the negative 20's a couple weeks ago all the way up to a -.9, which means that your appraisal of him as someone who hurts more than he helps rings hollow in terms of his play for the entire year, and is a gross mischaracterization of his impact more recently.
