Mutombo going to Boston?

by Cornholio on Dec 14, 2008 8:53 AM CST

Once Dikembe Mutombo passes out his gifts, he hopes to return to the NBA for a final season, possibly with the Celtics.

The 7-foot-2-inch, 260-pound center said last week he hopes to sign with a team after spending Christmas with his family in Atlanta. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year said among the teams that have shown interest are Boston, San Antonio, and Miami. The former Rocket also said Houston has "not answered me." The 42-year-old, who has blocked 3,278 shots during his 17-year career, said he is in "good shape" from working out three hours a day with spinning classes, yoga, and weightlifting.

"You'll see me in the next two weeks," Mutombo said. "I will be somewhere. I really need to go back to playing. I've just got to make sure that I go to a place where I can be happy. There are about four to five teams that I've been looking at and about seven teams that have shown interest. It's up to me to make my decision."

WTF?

Our injuries

probably is affecting this. Either Les doesn’t want to pay him or we’re having problems unloading someone like Head. Or we want to keep him because of the injuries.

Can’t really fault the guy if he wants to play. Though I’d be a little peeved if he goes to a Western power like San Antonio or Los Angeles. (Or, god forbid, Utah…)
