Yes Peter, Pitino should be working that phone hard for Dampier. Dampier
might be having an off year, but he's a project with some actual talent to
go along with his size, unlike Riley and Schintzius. Unless Anderson really
finds something, somewhere, he's going to have to go at some point...so why
not? They need a point...the Celts need a big man...neither one is working
out for the team they're on.....it might make sense. Plus...I don't see
Pitino clearing enough cap space to sign him as a free agent this summer,
and he might be the best the team can do without trading Walker, Mercer, or
Pierce.
