Rockets re-sign Mutombo
December 30, 2008

HOUSTON --The Houston Rockets have re-signed 42-year-old center Dikembe Mutombo for the rest of the season. The move gives the Rockets an emotional leader and a backup to Yao Ming.

Mutombo appeared in 39 games for Houston last season, logging most of his minutes after Yao broke his left foot in February. Mutombo averaged five rebounds, three points and 1.2 blocks.

He became a free agent after last season and contemplated retirement before deciding to come back for an 18th season.

oh well
I guess hes too old to move home  .. and like warm weather 
Sad thing is I dont  think i like Joe Smith
maybe PJ..maybe...

[dark_lord]

cross him off the list.  i wondering if we will sign anyone, or if we make a trade.  some type of move needs to be made tho

here's hoping for PJ

[Scott]

I figured he would stay with Houston.

Boston's cold weather would've locked his old bones up anyways.

Now let's hope for Joe Smith or PJ we do need that length.

I think PJ is done. He played a necessary role last year in the playoffs, but... I don't think he'll come back. If he does, I'll welcome him, but it's still doubtful. I'm more optimistic about Joe Smith, and Smith's a better player and younger too.
