[Marino]

I think we just got Dampier

WojYahooNBA

Charlotte has traded Tyson Chandler and Alex Ajinca to Dallas for Dampier, Matt Carroll and Najera, a league source tells Y! Sports.

***edit - i changed your title to better reflect the rumor***

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! not ajinca

i am crushed. if he was going to flame out i wanted him to flame out with us and only us.

this deal makes no sense unless we are going to waive damp and his unguaranteed contract.

[fatlever]

is this really the best we can do with chanlder's contract?

give me the raptors deal over this.

chandler >> dampier

[Marino]

I guess we will pay the rest of Carroll's contract.

[99problems]

stunned.

so the Raptors deal was for sure off quite a while ago.

The salaries don't even work out in this deal?

Something else must be coming

[bobcats3wallace]

Great deal if it is true! Dampier has a non-guarenteed contract that we coudl take advantage of and is a HUGE trade chip. He is also not a TERRIBLE C...he could fit in nicely. CArroll's contract is decreasing and i wouldn't mind having him back since we would be trading Alexi's contract. And Najera could be our back-up PF and i believe he is expiring.

I can't believe MJ chose this over the Calderon deal... What an idiot...

[fatlever]

the damp contact cant be worth that much more than chandlers...

if we move him this summer we dont have a center. if we cut him outright, who left at center is worth signing? if we hang on to him, i'd rather have chandler.

diop and damps reunited again [sigh]

too bad jefferson is off the table now.

[99problems]

Carrol and Eduardo do nothing but take up salary.

Dampier's contract isn't worth much more than Chandler's...it's like a lateral move while adding two contracts we don't need?

Are we moving Dampier for something? Not seeing why we do this...yet

Najera is an expiring contract in the 2011-2012 season.

Dampier for Calderon?

[DY_nasty]

This FO is (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

Carroll hasn;t touched the floor in years, Najera is a bum, Damp is gone anyways but.... what the hell?

Please MJ, I want to believe in you.

[BigSlam]

HAMMER TIME IS BACK BABY!!!

[99problems]

deal is being finalized with league office, according to Woj

[Champipple]

That trade doesn't even work in the checker.

I picture MJ running the team while drunk out of his head at a roulette table in Vegas while negotiating on an Iphone.

[bobcats3wallace]

Dampier actually produced just the same as Chandler last year with more rebounds. And he is even more of a trade chip because it is non-guarenteed. And guys another thing keep in mind here. The Wolves wanted Dampier's contract BAD...thats what this coudl be about. Dallas would not give it to them, but i'm sure we would....

[fatlever]

somebody explain how this is a good deal? im waiting on the glass is half full people to help me out.

[rdtx2005]

man.... imo.. Calderon deal would have been better for your franchise.

[99problems]

wishful thinking, but since MIN was talking to DAL about Dampier, but DAL insisted they take Carrol's contract and MIN wouldn't do it.....maybe we've got a chance to turn Dampier into Jefferson? Or is the Utah deal finalized

[BigSlam]

too bad jefferson is off the table now.

Or is he?

Maybe we turn around and flip Damp straight to the Wolves for Al Jefferson.

They agree because we are not focing bad contracts onto them like Cuban was?

(a boy can dream.....................can't he?)

[douggood]

raptors fan here, this trade makes no sense, it doesnt save money since carrol najera make 12 mil over the next 2 years.
