Former Knick Dikembe Mutombo had plenty of good things to say about owner James Dolan and MSG president Steve Mills, who supported his attempts to build more hospitals in Africa.

The same cannot be said when the conversation turned to Isiah Thomas.

"I have nothing to say about Isiah," Mutombo said. "I don't want to discuss him. What am I going to say? We haven't even had a conversation."

"It's very sad. I'm very sad to leave the city of New York," Mutombo said. "I built a personal relationship with Steve Mills and James Dolan, not just on the basketball court but off it."

Mutombo is not sure he will play with the Chicago Bulls but he won't retire.  He and his agent David Falk may try to force a trade to Houston.
