    David Faulk, Mutombo's agent, will tell DEKE to sign with the Rockets. He will get offers for more money but it comes down to the intangibles.

    The Cookie Monster would be foolish to pass up on an opportunity to play with the team that's been put together here.

    It's not like he's starving or anything. Even if he was, he could just eat at Yao's Restaurant for free anyway.

    I dont think there is any quesiton that Mutombo's skillset is best used in Houston. Deke fits PERFECTLY in JVG's defensive system as a backup to Yao. I dont think Mutombo would be nearly as effective on any other team/situation. I really hope he resigns with Houston. I think he is a good influence on Yao.

    I dont mean the solo you out deuce but the term is "re-signs" not "resigns", "resigns" means quitting. Let this be a lesson to all. The terms have 2 very different meanings.

    He's not starving, but he wants to spend the money on people who are starving. Basketball is a profession that helps his fulfill his humanitarian efforts. If some other team offered him a lot more money, I wouldn't blame him but it would be awesome to have him back.

    The correct term is "to single you out" but I understood what you meant just like everyone understood what Deuce meant. "To single you out" means to speak to and/or about someone individually in the context of a group setting or forum. "The solo you out" means absolutely nothing at all. When your contract for forum english enforcement comes up for renewal, don't re-sign, just resign. Let this be a lesson to you.

    Smilies are not part of the syntax.

    The grammar, spelling, and misuse of words on board is so rampant that if we to stopped to correct everyone we would not have time to talk about basketball. That is the goal after all.

    Just check your spelling checker and grammar checker at the door and enjoy the floorshow.

    Agreed; however, to prevent confusion, it is very important not to mispell.

    To be fair, I believe he is not a native english speaker, and since solo can be construed by some as a synonym for single it is perfectly understandable that he used it in that fashion. :p:p

    You know this news is pretty boring when the thread turns into a spelling and grammar policing thread. :D

    Misspell or not using the correct word? Right don?



    :)


    Edit: Did he say that Mutombo has received bigger offers or that there was just some intrest from other teams?
