It's not exactly an honor: He's No. 7 on Ball Don't Lie's list of the 10 worst free agent signings of the decade. He's become a punch line of sorts not only because of his seven-year, $73 million extension, but because Dampier essentially traded cap holds with ex-Mavericks guard Steve Nash, who was allowed to sign with the Phoenix Suns two months before Damp hooked up with Dallas. The burly big man is a fine player who has started nearly every game as a Maverick in the time since, but he's hardly worth eight figures a year. Of course, Dampier's contract could be like a bad meal with a wonderful aftertaste, depending on what the Mavs can do with the DUST Chip, the unique non-guaranteed but fully tradeable status for his final season of the deal.
