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.

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.
