East Rutherford, NJ (July 27, 2006)</B> - 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.

While not as big mass-wise as Boone, Moore makes up for the loss of Boone and his athleticism, off the bench. Can block some shots, scrap for some boards (not a good rebounder though), has a decent j and can get hustle points around the basket. Had an okay year with the Sonics, and should be solid in the Nets system w/ Jason Kidd.
