Answer: ...Um, Rick Brunson?

Honestly, if there is one of the "good" Mavericks left as a free agent in your league, you probably should have picked them up before this happened anyway.

In Dampier's abscence, Alan Henderson (he's still playing?), Calvin Booth (who is not Danny Fortson), and Shawn Bradley all got more minutes. Three-headed (or three-bodied?) centers are not so good for the ol' fantasy value... what can I say?

The question you need to ask yourself now is: Do I need a C who can give me about 10/10 with about 1 BLK? If the answer is in the affirmative, consider trying to squeeze in a trade before your league's deadline and see if you can get Damp on the cheap.

Also, does anyone have input on there is a trade deadline? Just in general, y'know. I'm sure there's a logical reason. I just can't think of what it would be.

Count it.
