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 moving damp gets them what they need at the 2 then they have to do it. They have to swing for it and it's not that big of a swing. Damp couldn't stay on the floor in many,many games.
