Even with his kidney condition, I'd take a chance and sign him. Even if he
has to be restricted to 24 - 30 minutes a night, fine, grab him. We can
fill the rest of the center minutes with Dalembert and Coleman (or if the
Sixers are very lucky, McCullouch). I just love the idea of this horse
under the basket for the Sixers. His presence makes the rotation look so
much nicer.

Cut me a break. As soon as we sign him to a guaranteed contract, he'll
play 2 -3 games, and then his career will be over. Then we'd be paying
him for years the way we're paying Geiger and TMac. I don't think
there's cap room to sign him anyway.

Yeah i think he'd be a good signing too, but only if it's a 2 year deal
(better yet one year deal but I doubt he'll sign for that). And I'd be weary
of giving him the entire mid-level, but if thats what it takes I guess I'd
be okay with it.

Too big a risk (file this one under Grant Hill). I would only sign Mourning
for the minimum and from what I hear, he wants to get PAID. I don't think he
would even leave the Heat, except maybe for San Antonio, unless he were
offered more than the Cap exception. I'm sure Miami will at least offer him
something in the neighborhood of a 2 year $10M contract. Also, I think it is
far from a sure thing that either Coleman or Hill will be back next year and
I'm not sure that is a bad thing . . .
