Celtics sign Mikki Moore
- Thread starter SacKings7

He certainly won't have a PJ Brown like effect for the Celts (Brown had a more decorated career, had more offensive talent and had a defensive rep). Moore can't even do much offensively besides cutting/dunking or shooting a midrange jumper, and even those aren't guarantees given his fumblefingers and his increasingly overrated shooting ability. His defense consists of moving his feet and using his length, but he intimidates no one, doesn't block shots, and never developed any great defensive IQ. His PER this year is 8, and even in years where he played a lot his PER is only been about 12, so suffice to say he's a role player with minimal talent. The Celts do need a tall guy and that's probably the reason they signed Moore (not for his skills or "veteran savvy"), but if they expect him to contribute, they may be disappointed.
I'm glad to hear he signed with the C's. He's earned another gig simply by being classy and positive on his way out of here.
On the downside, it seems like we did the Celtics a lot of favors this year, with the trading for cash, and the fact that they wanted Mikki but didnt trade for him, now we get Mikki's salary against our cap, and he's playing for them. Not sure how that worked out.

Talk is cheap, Laker fan.
Mikki can do a couple of things you aren't used to seeing. For one, he'll stand his ground and take a charge as well as any big man in the league. He's not a major talent but he's a good, solid role player for production off the bench. Does the name Madsen ring any bells? That would be the comparison.

Somehow I suspect that the Lakers fans really aren't scared.
I posted this on the wrong board (keep forgetting about this one).
Funny that Ainge could've picked from a multitude of Mikki's attributes, like "really great hair" or "really great pair of lungs," but chose hands of all body parts. But, historically, ex-Kings have proven us wrong in the skillset department, so who knows.
