Built Ford Tough Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Stein's Twitter: Just filed to ESPN.com: Heat target Dampier as top choice to replace Haslem and could complete Damp signing this week. Link on the way Meh. I don't think it will make that big of a difference, but with Haslem being out for so long, they clearly needed to get another big on that roster. I still stand by what I said about him being lazy, unmotivated and just wanting a paycheck. For Miami's sake, hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't think it is unrealistic to make those assumptions based on what has happened with him over the past few months.

Flash Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 As lazy and out of shape as he is...he'll still make a difference underneath. We needed him regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lone Granger Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 He's probably better than anyone they have at the moment, and that's sad to say because they don't have much. Dampier is slow, fat, and lazy these days in my opinion, but maybe playing alongside names like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will make him want a ring and play hard. Maybe, that's probably the best-case scenario for the Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 He's physical and Miami desperately needs some toughness down low. I don't think he's bad as people make him out to be but him showing up out of shape didn't help him much. Hopefully the Heat staff can get him back into top shape and play like he cares.

Flash Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 its all about juwan howard and pittman !!! Pittman was impressive in the pre-season. I know we don't usually play young guys but he could really make a difference with his size down low. I am definitely in favor of letting him get some minutes.

Sun Tzu Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hopefully age doesn't get into his way and he will be able to contribute a lot for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'd cut Stackhouse. He does nothing for this squad especially with Miller coming back in about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 35-year-old Dampier was in Miami Monday and will sign Tuesday assuming there are no problems with his physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 This signing is about 2-3 weeks late. I am more interested to see who get cut though or would they send Chalmers away for a pick instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 In case anybody was wondering (and if it wasn't already completely obvious) the Heat waived Stackhouse in order to create space on their roster for Dampier. Heat just waived Jerry Stackhouse to sign Erick Dampier, sources say Not that it should be a surprise considering Stackhouse isn't even an NBA caliber player anymore, but I figured I'd mention it anyways.

Clutch Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 thank god it was stack, i was worried pat would sacrifice pittman...that would mean wasting all our draft picks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Necessary signing. The one area the Heat have gotten pounded on this season is on the offensive glass...they give up too many offensive boards, and don't get enough of them themselves. If nothing else, Dampier will give them that, and will give them much-needed size in the paint. He can also finish simple plays off near the rim, which is something Joel Anthony was never able to offer when he was still seeing the floor (he hasn't played the last 2 games).
