Nets Acquire Mikki Moore



East Rutherford, NJ (July 27, 2006) - The New Jersey Nets have acquired center Mikki Moore from the Seattle SuperSonics for a second round draft pick in 2009, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today.

“We are pleased to add Mikki to our roster,” said Thorn. “He is a veteran presence who will add depth to our frontcourt rotation.”

The 7-0 Moore has career marks of 4.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 303 games. Last season, he appeared in 47 games for Seattle, averaging 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds. The eight-year veteran has played for seven NBA teams (Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, New Jersey, Utah, Los Angeles Clippers and Seattle). The Nebraska product, who was undrafted out of college, appeared in four games for the Nets during the 2003-04 season, averaging less than a point per game.

this respresents a huge shift of power in the eastern conference IMO.

Bigger than Shaq going to Miami.

Actually, its a shift of power in the West.

Seattle just got a lot better.

How would it make you feel, knowing that you are worth a 2009 second round draft pick...

Sorry to bump this old thread, but does anyone else here think that this trade might actually be the only reason that the Nets are even in the playoffs at all this year?

Mikki has been very solid, especially after Nonads went down for the year.

A 2009 2nd? Thorn won this deal hands down.

Well, it's not like the Sonics needed a servicable big this year or anything.

Being wide open "all the time" has improved his game significantly.
