    My guess would be all-star break or trade deadline.

    Mutombo was a little faster as a player, he'll probably be signed by another team by now.

    No, Mutumbo has expressed no interest in playing for a team other than the rockets.

    He'll most likely be a mid-season signing in a pj brown for the celtics like deal last year

    A couple of days ago I was watching the pre-season team special on the Rockets and Jazz on NBATV and Mike Fratello reported that we signed him for one more year. :confused:

    I got all excited for nothing!!! :confused:

    We need him! We can't play 6'10 guys on 7 footers. It messed up everything. We need mount Mumtumbo back badly. Just pay him.

    Mutombo, ink a deal we love you and need you in a non-gay way :D

    Please come back.

    I don't want to bump that thread again.

    I will once he's signed--for good luck and closure.

    Make no mistake. He will check the record and health of the team before he signs. 42 year old veterans don't sign up for first round exits.

    Yes a player who is defensively minded, over 7ft, strong and athletic and a good shot blocker. Is Mutombo upto it? :p
    PS We don't need someone for the playoffs only!!! We need someone now!! :p

    Mutumbo can't help our offense at all and that is where we had a problem tonight I think

    can't even spell his name right, it's Mutombo! Let the man rest then re-sign him.
