    Speaking of centers, what's the status with Mutombo?

    Dikembe is still unsigned, but from what I know, he is still waiting.

    Too many minutes for a big guy like Yao.

    You will need him healthy and ready to go come playoff time

    like adelman said, this isn't a big deal at all. we're 3 games into the season. a lot of stats look weird right now. yao isn't going to keep playing 39 minutes per game.

    We're just waiting on Dikembe. Probably a deal worked out between both sides to allow Dikembe to rest and sign mid-way through the season to have him fresh for a playoff push. He most likely needs this rest, considering he's played a lot of minutes for a guy of his age in the past three seasons.

    its only temporary. the first month is gonna have a lotta changes w/ almost every team. he can handle heavy minutes for awhile actually, but not the entire season. i dont mind him play 38min till january. but if dorsey isnt ready then we need to find a backup center and theres plenty of options.
