    thats really funny....I have had Mutombo as Yaos backup in NBA Live 04 for most of the season..;)

    he still does a damn fine job....unfortunately, video games do not = real life...
    Im not real sure he has much left in him....I would be leary of paying him 4.5M...

    and besides that....has it been hinted that NY would want to get rid of him? If he still has any game left, woldnt they want to keep him in the bigman less EAst?

    My guess: Probably not the Rockets.

    Isiah seems to want him as bait to get rid of Mooch while getting a contributor.

    The east is desprate for big men because they don't have any. That is one of the reasons that they don't need a big man.

    What's the chances of him toping Hakeem's block record if he keeps playing for a few more seasons?

    That would be a disgrace if he did that in a Rockets jersey.

    because he has an expiring contact, I'd be down to give one of out big contacts or trash and a conditional pick for him....He makes for a badass back up... with him and Yao routing, opp. teams never really get to attack the paint..
