The longer Erick Damp ier remains a free agent, the more it appears the Warriors aren't about to cooperate with the Knicks, Pacers, Grizzlies or Hawks regarding a sign-and-trade. Hey, considering the Knicks' offer is Nazr Mohammed or Dikembe Mutombo in addition to Othella Harrington, who can blame them? I mean, how many backup centers/power forwards (Adonal Foyle/Dale Davis) can Chris Mullin accrue in one cost-ineffective summer? Which leads us to another prickly problem; can anyone identify a Warriors big man (or shorter) remotely capable of drawing a double team in the low docks? Since such a species does not exist, how does rookie coach Mike Montgomery plan to get Derek Fisher the kind of unmolested perimeter looks he needs to get off? Surely opponents realize it won't be wise to swarm Mike Dunleavy, who can find the open man but isn't all that dangerous, and, at the same time, recognize the rewards of attacking official scorer Jason Richardson, who either can't or won't pass. </div> Full Story
great find buckets. I hope the hawks pull this out and sign Dampier. I think he could bendeift our teams in notheing but pluses If we keep him after we sign him he can give us a legitimate bigman that i hear can gaurd the diesal one on one. ( by the way the diesalis just one person but becuause he is so dominant i had to throw that plug out for dampier ) And if we dont decide to keep dampier the legitimate offers we could get from other teams could really deepen our now deepesque bench. <font face="Palatino Linotype"><font size="5"><u>Come on Hawks pull this out.</u></font></font>
what i dont get, is why does it have to be a sign and trade? i thought damp was an unrestricted free agent. how are the warriors even getting a say in all this deal to atl? damp could just sign there if he wanted. only the grizz, knicks or pacers need to trade
Because he demands a lot of money and no teams want to sign him to that much money. If they trade players they will trade the salaries basically. It's all about the benji's to everyone.
