Mikki Moore

Mikki Moore was signed on Friday. The forward/center played with the New Jersey Nets last season and has been in the NBA for nine years. Last year, Moore averaged around 10 points and five rebounds.

Not sure what to think of this move yet. I checked out some footage of Moore on Youtube.com today and he looks like he has a decent jump shot and can finish hard. Suddenly the Kings are full of big men. Looks as though there will be a ton of different lineups until head coach Reggie Theus figures out what works.

Some are saying that this signing means that talks between the Kings and Cavs have stalled in regards to Mike Bibby. To me, it's nothing to get excited about (another Shareef/Thomas). What will that do Petrie? Let's cross our fingers and hope there is more activity this off-season. I thought the team was looking to get younger but this is sort of baffling.

Here is the site to some of Moore's footage:
