Free Agency: Dikembe Mutombo

As the Celtics [team stats] continue to search for some length to complement Leon Powe and Glen Davis off the bench, there was nothing encouraging on the Dikembe Mutombo front. The free agent said he’d be making a decision on a team soon, but the Celts may be holding off for someone with a more balanced game as they mainly see Mutombo as a contributor on the defensive end.

“No, I don’t think we’re going to get him,” said Rivers. “We talked to David (Falk, Mutombo’s agent) and I would say it’s a no.


So Dikembe says no to Boston. Looks like it's going to come down to between us and the Spurs.

IMO, I really don't think hes coming here :( That's just my opinion, but it might be wrong; I just think if he wants a ring, the Spurs or Celtics were his best option. Tim Duncan is one of the most consistent superstars in the NBA on both ends, and he has a cast/coach that can pull through once playoff time comes, I think that might be his best option.

I was just watching the flash-energy NBDL game and the commentator said that Courtney Sims (plays for energy) is flying to HOU tomorrow. The rockets have a workout scheduled with Sims and Mutombo...

UPDATE: Mutombo decision not imminent

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/spo ... 85785.html

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said he had "a good meeting" with the agent representing Dikembe Mutombo, but that he does not expect a decision for several days as the earliest.

Since last week’s trade of Steve Francis to Memphis moved the Rockets out of position to be required to pay a luxury tax, Morey has spoken several times with Mutombo in addition to Monday’s meeting with David Falk to express the team’s interest in bringing back Mutombo.

"He is considering his options, which he has every right to do," Morey said.
