    Mutombo is a slow bum , he will ruin the flow of the game. The Rockets need to offer Clearence weatherspoon along with draft picks to get a solid center

    WOuld LA trade Peja Drobjnak

    Drobnjak is with the Bobcats now, and I wouldn't want Houston to acquire his contract anyways. Drobnjak is not the traditional center in that he doesn't play post defense and sticks to the perimeter too much. Not fit for our inside-out scheme IMO.

    mutombo is a good fit for the Rockets... it's not like they can run up and down the floor with Yao anyways.. When Mutombo is in there, they don't have to change the way they play too much - they still have a big shot blocking center to take pressure off the guards on defense. Although his shot is damn ugly, Mutombo has been known to score in the past too.

    Mutombo can give you 4 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in 20 minutes. Not bad for a backup.
