ATLANTA - Coach Doc Rivers confirmed yesterday the Celtics were interested in free agent center Dikembe Mutombo.

But he predicted Mutombo would return to Houston.

Asked if he had talked with Mutombo, Rivers replied, "Always. He's a good friend. He's going to come back. I talked to him last week - he will come back.

"We're over the [salary] cap so it's tough for us to do a lot of stuff, but we're looking at everybody."

Yesterday, Mutombo attended a United Nations presentation of a Ben Affleck-directed film about refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mutombo's home country.

"I told [Affleck] that I might play in his hometown," Mutombo said in a telephone interview. "He said, 'Come, we'd love to have you.' He's a really nice guy."

Mutombo said he plans to sign with a team after Christmas.

"My agent, David Falk, has talked to the Celtics," he said. "I'm also getting interest from other teams to contribute on [the floor] and on the bench as a mentor."


would be a good replacement for PJ Brown if it happened...ya'll still need your Sam Cassell and James Posey, though.

[tempo2]

what happened to PJ did he retire or is he still "mulling" over a return?

The C's need Sam Cassell?  Are you fucking kidding?  Cassell was one of the worst things about the C's last year.

Yeah. Which is really bullshit if you ask me.

it's called locker room presence, genius. he's like a coach out there...and plus, Cassell hit some huge shots in last years Finals.

I highly doubt he comes back this year...they should only give half a ring to players like him. LOL

Everytime he was out there he'd chuck random shots left and right.  He had way more retarded fucking shots than big shots.  He didn't fit w/ that team and they're better without him.

yea...cuz the Celtics are better off with an undersized shooting guard (Eddie House) playing back-up point guard than the veteran presence of Cassell.
