Dikembe Mutumbo: "Celtics or spurs"

[xtremesteven33]

i get a feeling though that he wants to come to San Antonio just based upon playing with Tim Duncan and under Pop.

Deke is a good guy and a team leader and i dont see him getting along too much with KG and his obnoxious ways.

But yea i agree with TIMVP, he will likely be in Boston.

It's what men do, we smack talk trying to compete. I have no problem with it. The objective is to make him stick his finger up his or you will have that thing in your face saying not in my house. I love it. We have to man up and stop whimping out about everything. WE getting so soft. Come to the playground and that's where you earn your stripes and no refs with bailout calls and no fans talking about what is class and classless, it's the battle field and you go to war until somebody wins. Yeah, we argue and but in the end we respect each other and can't wait til the next time we get revenge or to up them again. That's what compe ion does.

Give me a ing break. There's no emotion in that, it's a gimmick. On the playground if you do that crap you'll get fouled really hard the next time you go up for a shot. It's a stupid thing he does to get around the rules about taunting. I think they should be allowed to talk more trash, but what Deke does is just douchy.

for real! i hate this class bs that keeps getting thrown around here in regard to spurs fans. i'm not here to impress anyone with my classiness by sitting in my seat and golf clapping, that's why i stand up at games and yell! class, it gets you nowhere in sports.

class to me, in sports, is exactly how the spurs handle themselves on court and behind the scenes but when it comes down to it i want to see some sort of burning/passion in the eyes of all that sit on our bench and i want to see that we have that swagger that others fear.

as for all spurs fans, i could care less if you don't have class. a spurs fan is a spurs fan is a spurs fan regardless. bring it es!

of course it's a gimmick but it's noworse than trash talking. Deke does it all in fun and perhaps to get pumped up on that end of the floor. We just don't agree as you find it stupid and it just doesn't bother me to the least.

[sa_butta]

Another inside presence would help us out late in the season, I would not be totally against the old finger waver. I think he could really help us out in the playoffs and its not like he woulndt have any legs he isnt playing a full season.

[ManuTP9]

i would love to have him on SA but when it comes down to it he's likely going to pick Boston , because he prolly wants a championship.

[nkdlunch]

Mutombo >> Mother Teresa

and Mother Teresa as backup PG was a nobrainer. You do the math

[Duncan2177]

Anyone who wouldnt want Mutumbo on the spurs is crazy, He would bring shot blocking that this spurs team needs next to Timmy, He would help against the lakers with Gasol and Bynum in a seven game series.

And I probably sound way too judgmental or righteously indignant about it in my posts, which isn't my intent. While I think it's kind of ghey, that's not why I think he shouldn't do it as a Spur. It's contrary to the things the Spurs try to do as a team. Even if he refused to stop doing it I'd still like to see him as a Spur.

[T Park]

Don't worry, he has NBA GM-like duties to take care of. Afterall, he prefers Tolliver to Mutombo.

Ones 23 and has alot to work with, athletic, good defender, good passer.

Ones 40 something and all eh can do is move like a snail and block 1 or 2 shots a game and thats it.

Yeah I can see why I'm such an idiot.

Get back to work, GM.

I always said, it would've been awesome had Malik laid a little knee into Mutombo when he did that and gave him a "Finger wave that " when on the floor.

[T Park]

I'm not one, therefore I don't act like I know more than current GMs, and ridicule and pound them into the ground cause they've ed up 3 times in 13 years.

No you were right the first time

I'd rather have Mutombo than Tolliver so I say sign him and waive Tolliver

Yep, Spurs Brazil definitely gave them a pounding.

[jcrod]

waive vaughn

[benefactor]

waive vaughn

I would say unlikely...but I wouldn't put it completely out of the question to bring in Deke if Pop really wanted to keep Tolliver also. Tolliver would likely go back to the Toros in this scenario.

No problem and you are probably right as far as being a Spur is concerned but that's the thing I like, having a Spur that breaks the mode of the norm without causing a distraction or team disarray. I loved Jax for being tough and the "anti-spur" so to speak yet he still fit his role nicely and we've have trouble finding his replacement ever since.


Just as I like having a discussion with disagreements that are respectful.

I think that Mutumbo will re-sign with Houston.
They have just salary dumped Francis and they now can sign Mutumbo to a minimum contract without going over the luxury tax.

I noticed that Francis was unloaded now with Artest coming off the bench to lead the second unit the Rockets are looking more dangerous if they will gel and McGrady & Ming can stay healthy for the long haul, doubtful but..., with Mutumbo and Artest leading the bench squad could be good combo, though I still think Mutumbo with the C's is too dangerous for the rest of the league.

[Rummpd]

More playing time here. A veteran who comes cheap and is a class act. Sounds like a Spur.

[timtonymanu]

i wouldnt want Deke going to Boston or L.A.

those two teams already got star players for free. ex.) Pau, KG, Ray

And we have a winner. I wanted Mutombo here badly, but no doubt Houston realizes they need him on the roster. Daryl Morey was asked today about the possibility of using the capspace to pursue Mutombo, and he said it was definitely a possibility. I consider it done.

[Spork KIller]

Mutombo??

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

[lefty]

Mutombo??

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Shaq?

Really?
