From realgm wiretap

There has been speculation that Dikembe Mutombo, 38, would retire if he was traded from New York. Mutombo currently is out of the States, but John Paxson has been in contact with his agent, David Falk. Even though Mutombo is well past his prime as a player, the Bulls feel he would be a good role model and practice partner for center Eddy Curry.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Mutumbo will likely be traded, as the Bulls have 17 players under contract for this upcoming season.

If he retires and doesn't show up for his physical, would it jeapordize the trade or is the trade final no matter what? I'm a little worried now

Traded Mutombo to Houston?? Are you just speculating that they might do that or did you read that they already did do it?

Wow. that's surprising. I thought the Bulls wanted Mutombo to work with Curry and Chandler.
