Eschmeyer Kept Dampier out of Memphis

Jerry West was very keen on acquiring Erick Dampier this summer in a sign-and-trade deal, but according to ESPN's Marc Stein, the deal breaker was Chris Mullin's insistance that Evan Eschmeyer be included in any such deal.

The Mavs pulled the trigger on Dampier and are now trying to buy out the remaining three years and $10.8 million of Eschmeyer's deal.

The Grizzlies went on to match the offer sheet given to Jake Tsakalidis by the Cleveland Cavaliers, to fill out the center position.

Newly Signed Flores Hopes to Flourish With Warriors

Second round draft choice guard Luis Flores inked a contract with the Golden State Warriors today, ESPN.com reports. Sources indicate the deal was for two years with a third year at Flores' option.

Flores was drafted 55th overall in this year's draft by the Houston Rockets but immediately dealt to the Dallas Mavericks for the rights to Vassillis Spanoulis. Flores was then forwarded to the Warriors Aug. 24 in the eight-player trade sending Warriors center Erick Dampier to Dallas in a sign-and-trade arrangement.

Flores is the leading career scorer at his alma mater, Manhatten College.
