MainEv3nt Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Alas, in addition to having a nice contract, Dampier happens to be a valuable player. Trading him for Hamilton would have left an even larger gap in the front court. Now Dallas has Haywood to fill the gap, and with better defense to boot. This has all the hallmarks of an "other shoe to drop" trade. As it stands, the Mavs are doubled up at the Center position. The trade was made early enough that there is some breathing room for negotiations. Hamilton hasn't played particularly well this year, but, then, neither has Butler. If Cuban wants to win a championship with this squad, he is going to have to take a risk. The Mavericks are solid enough that Hamilton could ease back from the injuries that still seem to be plaguing him, saving his best work for the playoffs. Hamilton's playoff experience has to be alluring to a team looking to get over the hump. As it stands, acquiring Hamilton might be the last big play Cuban has left. He could make a push for Andre Iguodala, but that would mean taking on Dalembert's contract, which makes it about $30 million more for Cuban to deal with them, even if the two sides can Memphis away the contract discrepancies. http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2010/2/13/1309761/hamilton-to-dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Wtf Mark Cuban is going nuts. But this trade does make sense for the Mavs, but would Hamilton come off the bench or would he start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Why would they need Rip after getting Butler? I would assume he would play the backup small forward position behind Marion, or he would start and Butler would come off the bench. Either way, seems pretty unnecessary to me.

KurbyFX Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Doesn't make sense to be honest. They need the front court depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 14, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is merely an idea of the blogger's, nothing more. Detroit has been hit up by a few teams regarding Rip, including Cleveland...and I'm sure that Cleveland offer included JJ Hickson, who would be much better for Detroit than Dampier (or his contract).
