Dampier needs 2100 minutes over 70 games this season in order to gaurantee his contract. As long as he stays below 2100 minutes over 70 the Mavericks (or any team he is traded to) will hold the option to decline his option for next season, thus making him an expiring contract (aka the Dust Chip).

We'll use this thread to monitor his minutes as the season progresses.

Dampier would need to average 30 minutes a game for 70 games to hit the 2100 mark. He has only played more than 2100 minutes twice in his career (2,656 minutes in 97-98 and 2405 minutes in 04-05 which was his last contract year with GS.) although his career avg. mpg is 25.2

Dampier has played all 82 games in a season three times in his career (97-98, 02-03, 05-06). Dampier played in 80 games for the Mavericks last season. His career avg. of games played per season is 67.

So far this season Dampier is averaging 29.1 mpg over 7 games with total minutes played at 204.

I will update the numbers after each Mavs game.
