08:56 AM ET 09.25 | With four centers already on the roster under guaranteed contracts, the Heat decided Friday to pass on the Erick Dampier experiment. Dampier, a 14-year veteran free agent, had workouts this week with the Heat and the Houston Rockets after he was released by Charlotte.

He's a bum anyway. Dante Jones was a better player when they were at Miss St

That's a good decision Dee. Trust me. Damp is really worthless. he is slow and will put the team on a bind...

Erika just can't find that good fit, can he?

Why?!!! It was such a great amazing signing!! LOL

Thats actually a good move...Dampier is not worth it....Cuban bought into that several years ago and you know he was pissed at the results

If Riley were really smarter than Cuban, the Heat wouldn't have been non-existent for the past 5 years. Riley's and idiot that got lucky.

So...is he still condo shopping in Miami?

Everyone is moving to Miami with or without a contract. Due to the large movement of players to the area stern is thinking about getting a condo to - so he can kiss more spoiled, whinny stars arse's

Too bad I really enjoyed the NBA of the 90's but this crap reminds me of the same changes that MTV has gone through - Jersey shore, really?

That is a bit over the top mate - he coached LA to championships - helped turn around the Knicks, then did the same thing with Miami.

You can say any of those stops are lucky but combined the resume speaks for itself.

Actually he seems like he is the Gordon Gecko of the NBA. Insider trading, anyone?
