Finally

I would have hated seeing him in a Spurs uni.

Looks like the price negotiations were all talk

We ended up getting him for the vet min.

This completely makes up for the bummer that was the Wizards game.

Perhaps his leadership is still underrated

When I see quotes like this:

"I let a lot of money go. I felt a lot of pressure Yao Ming and Tracy (McGrady) every day calling me, (saying) ‘We need you. We need your leadership in the locker room. We need your spirit, something to get us going,’ " Mutombo said. "Yao called this morning and said, ‘I don’t want to hear bad news. I need to hear good news.’
He was not sure if he would join the Rockets for a five-game trip that begins Friday at Toronto but added that Yao has insisted he be with the team. The Rockets host the Milwaukee Bucks on New Year’s Eve.

Looks like the team NEEDS Mutombo’s presence on and off the court. Even last year, how many times did T-Mac say Mutombo “inspired” him?
