I just find it hard to gripe about Erick Dampiers contract when you have Tariq Abdul Wahad on the payroll for basically what Erick Dampier is making, Shawn Bradley on the payroll for three more seasons at $14,500,000 wasted dollars, and Michael Finley around at 3 years $52,000,000. Dampier is owed $53,000,000 over 5 years, hardly a bad deal in todays market for centers. The guy made $7,000,000 this year and basically gave us a double double (9/9) for it, there are worse values all over the NBA at less valuable positions.

I just can't come to gripe about Dampiers contract when Michael Finley is making $52,000,000 over three seasons. *That* is an immovable and horrible contract, Dampier has value, like the guy or not.
