    Yeah, why the hell not? Even if Greg and Joel DO come back healthy, the team needs to get someone who is relatively big, strong and might actually play games.

    I'd rather have Dampier. Cut Marks and sign Damps.

    But Marks is from New Zealand, if they cut him who else is going to talk about 101 ways to prepare Spam with Patty Mills?

    I wouldn't want to chance it. Plus we're painfully low on underskilled white guys as it is.

    You're right.... we used to have a staple with Shavlik, Blake, Raef, etc. Now who do we have? Rudy? We might as well throw in the towel.

    I was holding out hope for Babbitt, but after he elevated and blocked whatshisname's jumper the other night I'm not sure we can count on him -- but there's always a chance!!

    Did say why. Does the 0-5 Rockets no longer need him? Or do they need help some where else instead? Or......is there an issue with Dampier? (health, attitude, out of shape?)

    I think we need to coax Shawn Bradley out of retirement.

    I bet Duds could use a pick me up, after getting nosed out by Kitzhaber. I'm sure he could still miss a free throw or ten.

    That's a good point... should we have a vote to see if he should make the team?

    I see no reason why the Blazers shouldn't try to bring him in. It makes too much sense.

    If he realizes the situation he'd be coming into with Joel/Greg/Camby/LA, and if he's cool with it when/if we're healthy.. then I'd take a look at him for sure.

    We had our chance to sign him. I think there's probably a good reason why we didn't.

    Houston probably offered more money.
