Dampier in better place?

"I thought I was going to be here, but things just didn't work out," Dampier said. "They didn't really know what was going to happen with Yao (Ming) and were not sure about the minutes at the five position.

"We have an opportunity to do something special. We have three of the best guys at their position. We have a chance to win a championship. I think this was a better place for me."
