Reports are now claiming that the Charlotte Bobcats will proceed with cutting ties with Eric Dampier and let this "DUST Chip" fall to the wasteside. Fans were highly suspicious of the deal that sent Dampier, Carroll and Najera to Charlotte for Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinca. This end result in Charlotte ultimately tells us that the Mavericks were smart enough to realize that the dream of the instant-expiring contract of Dampier was not going to lead them to receiving a superstar-like player in return.
It may have looked foolish at the time but that's not the case now: Chandler is clearly better than just dumping Damp.
