Yes - There are rumors that Mutombo may be closer to 40 than to 36. Birth certificates apparently are hard to come by in Zaire.
But the biggest problem with Mutombo is his salary - it's HUGE. If we were to aquire him, the 76ers would need to take a lot of salary back in return. I don't think Van Exel and Bradley would cut it. Assuming they wouldn't be willing to take on Abdul Wahad, we'd more than likely have to send Finley, and I do NOT want to do that.
