Pop loves veteran players, I wouldn't be surprised if Deke got more PT than Ian.

Don't worry, he has NBA GM-like duties to take care of. Afterall, he prefers Tolliver to Mutombo.
I agree he's not a great option but he's a player we don't have. Only TD can block shots for us now.
I'd rather see Mutombo against the Lakers in the playoffs and not Tolliver
I don't want him in San Antonio to play 15 minutes. 5-8 minutes a game to give TD some help on D will be enought
Mutombo is done. Hate to say it because he's undeniably one of the nicest persons top to bottom this league has ever had. But as a player, I would take big shot rob or even DRob with his current belly over Dikembe. He's just nowhere near what he used to be, and those who still think he can pull out a couple blocks and half dozen rebounds a game are just nostalgic of the old Mutombo.
That's exactly the kind of bull that would happen to the Spurs if they passed on him. I'm still pissed cause of the Scola thing.
what the are some of you talking about? he played LAST SEASON and was effective for the Rockets while playing a good role..there's no reason to think he wouldn't be able to contribute the same way in 10-15 minutes..
there's a reason THE WORLD CHAMPS want him..there's a reason a number of other teams are going for him..
People here overreact, thinking we would play him 25-30 minutes a game and take away Ian's minutes.
IF he were to come here he would contribute big time. And you could Quote me on that.
Mutombo, the person, is a perfect fit for the Spurs. He exudes class, compassion, heart, and generosity for the less fortunate. For this reason, I have always wanted him to be a Spur....it is unfortunate that it never came to pass.
Mutombo, the player, is pretty much done. He has had a very nice career, and exceeded any expectations I had when he came out of Georgetown. I thought his game was too raw to last, but he proved me wrong. He never really refined his offensive game, but his defensive contributions cannot be discounted in the slightest.
Well whatever path he takes, I wish him nothing but the best, especially with his efforts in helping the impoverished in the Congo.
it would be a waste of time. i don't think he can provide anything that thomas can't.

Would love to have another veteran on the bench.
Dont know how I feel about him joining the Spurs but the guy is a great humanitarian.
Size(7'2") and shot blocking.
You make good points and I can't disagree with them....
But, I believe with his size and defense could help the Spurs with 10-15 mins a game.
Interesting that he would want to come and play for the Spurs!!
im with T Park
i rather develop a tolliver or other austin player than have mutombo for the rest of the season
When Duncan sits, he comes in. Why not? Just to keep him away from the Celtics. We could also do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 small trade which would solve the problem at SF for a long and athetic body with fillers.
I think we need both quickness and rebounding/shotblocking in the frontcourt.
We have Tolliver who has quickness but it's completely uncertain what he is going to be able to do for the team. If he can learn to play like a SF then he may have a career, but as it is now he is an undersized PF who isn't a solid rebounder and a shaky NBA shooter.
IF Mutombo can still rebound and Tolliver doesn't improve his outside shooting by the upcoming contract deadline then I would sign him, especially if it seems clear that Ian is too injured to play for the team this year.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE HAD A 7'2 PLAYER ON THE SPURS. THERE IS NO WAY HE WON'T BE PRODUCTIVE. This wouldn't be the over the top move for a for sure championship but it would be an awesome move to get a big that we desperatly need and to gain my confidence back in to the FO to help support timmy,for the time being atleast. Plus he could give ian some pointers.
LOL Ian is done dude. How many season will you guys keep dreaming about an imaginary ian.
Ian is not done. He is younger than the Spurs' rookie PG.
I'd like to see Deke in a Spurs' uni, but the finger wag has to go. It's self-promoting and classless. Besides, it's a freakin' cliche now.
Eh, for some reason I can't imagine this actually happening. Deke is a good player, or at least he was last season, but I'm not sold that he'd be all for having a smallish role with the Spurs. Thomas will steal most of the minutes against big, physical power forwards and centers.
From what Ive read. Im pretty sure he's headed to the Celtics. He has more friends there. And his chances of grabbing a ring are better in the East with the Celtics then in the West with the Spurs.
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.
