If the Kings buy out Moore, is there any interest in the former Jazz man+

Yeah I would think so, but we would have to waive Almond or Fes. I also cant see Sloan playing Moore over Collins. Definitely interest though.

Great guy. One thing I like about him is coming over the bench and shake Sloan's hand every game.

Trib reported that the Jazz tried to get him for some expiring contracts.

Surprised the Jazz didn't find a suitor for Almond in exchange for anything, just so the Jazz could have an open spot in case something like this happened.

We have 15 players under contract. We would have to cut someone to sign him.

I would love to see Moore back in a Jazz jersey. It should be him, and not Collins backing up Okur right now. And I believe we can actually have 16 players under contract--might be mistaken though.

15 is the max.

I'd love to have him back. We could definitely use his length, athleticism and energy up front, but, as pretty much everybody's pointed out, we'd need to open up a roster spot. I guess it would come down to Almond, Fesenko, or Collins. Unfortunately, Collins is probably too much of a Sloan favorite to get waived. It's too bad we couldn't have traded Almond for a second round pick or something like that.

Mikki Moore is going to sign with either Boston or LA this year.

Comeback home Mikki!!!!!! COME BACK HOME!!!!!!!!!

I would kill to have that guy in the rotation instead of Collins. He hustles, he can block shots, and can score. He also brings intensity that this team lacks. PLEASE COME MIKKI!!!!! IF YOU READ PLEASE COME!!!! WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET YOU GO!!!!!!

Yeah, he also has some clue, how to play with good PG.

I would waive Fes in a heartbeat if he was interested.

why fes isnt a free agent this coming year waive the guy who we are going to get nothing for in almond, although a contender could pick him up so hmm waive collins and sign mikki,

Fes has a team option, if he is waived he is a FA. Chances are Fes could be gone this summer anyway. He is immature and has shown little improvement in 2 yrs. Almond could actually be useful if we have injuries and honestly he has worked harder than Fes this yr.

I would be ecstatic if we cut Almond in favor of Mikki, I always loved his work ethic, and hustle. Almost millsap-esque. Get it done KOC

According to the Tribune, there's a chance we might actually pick Moore up, which would be great.
