  Calling the Dampier for Mullin trade a 'bonehead trade' is far from right
imho. The Pacers needed another scorer to complement Miller and Smits. They
also needed another veteran head in there. How were they to know that Dampier
would emerge in Golden State (given a TON more minutes mind you) and that Jalen
Rose would turn his career around as much as LB hoped?
