For the MLE or a bit less, Dampier would be a great addition to most any team. For anything more, he'll be a Brian Grant Lite.

I agree with you and BCH he has busto potential big time. He played well but I'm suspicious of career underachievers playing well on bad teams. His head just never seems right to me.
Unlike you MJG I think Daniels is a bust. With what he had around him he played well, Finley, Dirk, Nash, Jamison, Walker, thats 5 potential allstars. Daniels doesn't do anything real well he just plays unafraid and does the small things in a game. You take away, Nash now, with Jamison and give him an increased role where the other team can focus on him and I bet he folds and doesn't play well at all.
Dallas is foolish for that contract. I think people overrated him because the Mavs had a team that played no defense. And he seemed to play with toughness.
