I liked Moore's hussle, attitude, and professionalism. I hope he does well the remainder of his career.

He can help a contender, if he lands in Boston I think that helps them IMMENSELY. No lie, I think he might insure another ring for them. His attitude, defense, and hustle will really strengthen their bench.

I liked Moore too, but again he just wasn't fitting in with the team. Hopefully he gets on a good team.
Sometimes you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say....Tyreke Evans.
That just happened.

I was a huge Mikki Tissue Soft Moore. If he would have been a backup I would not have hated his 4/4 production. 4/4 in 20 min a game???? Mikki made Miller look like Shaq. Here are some of the othe 4/5 we have had in their primes in Sac:
CWebb 20/10, Shareef 18/8, Vlade 14/8, Miller 15/10, and Mikki "4/4 a night" Moore.

Someone was way out of his league. If you are really soft get a tough haircut and everyone thinks dang that guy is tough. Your chain is only as strong as the weakest link and Mikki was the weakest. If Mikki would have been a backup and not the man I would probably not hate the guy this much. He was really a pickup for Theus run and gun system not the Princeton. But I did hate that he was invisible whenever we played against real bigs. He was athletic but lacked heart. I do think the Kings let Shelden go because he wasn't a hype guy, but I think they want Diogu to be their tough guy. Fine I think he had equally good college stats and may develop into a solid player also.

Good luck Mikki, please sign with New Orleans they could use a healthy vet C and they have a PG who could feed him.

Mikki's new nickname:

"4/4" Moore

I still loved him though

Mikki was signed (unfortunately) in the same vein as guys like Jimmy Jackson and Keon Clark - as a vet guy to back up the straters and keep the heat on off the bench for a playoff team. Unfortunately, no one could forsee the huge drop off due to Shareef's injury and Kenny's disappearance combined with the lack of roster cohesion and crappy coaching choices by the Magoofs (when they thought that they could be the GM).
I wish Mikki good luck and godspeed. He is a true hustler and competitor, and a great example to many young people that talent alone is NOT what gains you an NBA career, but also dedication, hustle, and being a true gentleman and warrior.

I haven't seen Moore since his Nets days. Can he guard Centers? How's his defense in general?
much respect to the 2011-2012 champions, Miami Heat, well deserved

Nice team defender (good on rotations), and a nice perimeter defender of bigs, but his lack of strength becomes an issue in the post.

Just another Petrie mistake. Paying Moore this year plus the $2M next year for nothing.

What was Petrie thinking of last year when I told him not to do it?

I should be the GM of this club.
