Erick Dampier wants to return to the Mavericks next season, but knows that could be a long shot. Dampier's $13 million contract for next season isn't guaranteed. "I've enjoyed it here," Dampier said. "It's been a great run, for the guys and for myself. I could continue playing with these guys and have a great career here. Come July 1, we'll all get together and see what happens and hopefully I'll be here next year." Dampier signed a seven-year, $73 million contract with the Mavericks in August 2004. "I haven't looked at any other teams," he said. "I love it here. It's close to home for me. I see my friends a lot more. It's only talk. I don't worry about any of that. Eventually at some point something's going to happen. That's how I look at it." http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/061610dnspomavsdampier.a70f787a.html
