CD, nobody's saying that Damp is the prototype of the kind of center you want playing alongside Dirk. He's not. But he does posess a number of desireable characteristics that allow the pairing to be effective, which it undeniably was (+13.2 on-court +/- in 1334 minutes), both offensively (104.1 points per 48), and defensively (90.9 points allowed per 48). It's fine to point out the weaknesses that Damp has, but your contention that he's such a bad match with Dirk that the Mavs might be better off buying out his contract to be rid of him was completely unsupportable.
