Moore

After a half-season stint with the Boston Celtics, Mikki Moore is going back to the West Coast.

Moore's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN.com on Monday that the free-agent center agreed to a one-year contract with the Golden State Warriors over the weekend.

Moore's deal is for the $1.3 million, the veteran minimum.

He signed with the Celtics in March after negotiating a buyout with the Sacramento Kings after the trading deadline but struggled to make an impact with the Celtics, averaging only 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.6 minutes in the playoffs.
bye bye Wright

Our team needed a big and signed one for the veteran's minimum in Moore.

Damn, I hope this doesn't make Wright expendable. I'm all for keeping Wright and having him come off the bench. Give him a real chance, Nelson!

 

[lazyj10]

Wright to me isn't a PF, so the Moore deal is eh. Though I do agree, Wright is probably as good as gone, which is too bad.

If God has any pitty on us, we unload Jackson AND Maggette, maybe not to the same suitor, but just in general.

Sigh.

Could this be any more depressing?

Oh wait...

 

[lazyj10]

I'm just picking random names from Dallas...

I'm no JapanAir (luckily...i kid, i kid).

JET + Josh Howard = Jackson and Monta

Who would do it?

Yes, it's gotten to the point where to pass time and give hope, virtual trades is all we have left.

Oh and I hope TK is actually spot on about the sale of the team..citing advertising is down (not a shock) and ticket sales are down even further than expected(who really knows?)....Let's get it Larry Ellison!!

 

[andrew630]

We waive Davidson to pick up the same dude for more...

...but this isn't a precusor to a Wright deal. They are saying he's been going to summer school at Chapel Hill and has been practicing/working outthere. And that he still fits in the game-plan for the Warriors because he is the biggest post-presence we have.

Who wants to become OKC fans with me?

In other mock trade moves -

Move Monta to Portland for Fernandez and Bayless?

 

[japanair21]

I don't think any mavs want Ellis on the mavs I know Dont. It's unlikely if we deal with you that you'll get any name bigger than buckner or barea.The mavs are too high on Josh to trade him for a questionable upgrade and they're more comfortable with jet. I wouldn't be too excited to trade with us

lulz wuttttt?

 

[boys noize]

Nothing wrong with the Moore signing in my opinion. Veterans minimum plus he's not terrible off the bench as the second backup center. Definite upgradeover Davidson

I doubt he'll see much playtime anyway with both Biedrins and Turiaf getting the center minutes and Randolph and Maggette (

)getting PF minutes.

 

[dodadamnth1ng]

the signing of Mikki was unexpected

Don't let the hair fool you, Moore is way better than Davidson. I don't have any problems with the signing. It's the veteran minimum,and he's a serviceable big off the bench.

Mavericks will NOT trade Howard and/or Terry for Stephen Jackson... Won't happen... And taking on Terry's contract doesn't make sense for whatGolden State would want anyhow...

Yup. Moore costs more, but he's more useful. He can actually provide useful minutes, not just a big body for practice. I think he's theremore for Turiaf/Biedrins (in case one gets injured like last year and the Warriors have nobody else) than he is to replace Wright.

Obviously these are dream scenarios, since the odds we get anyone of a certain value is low to begin with. Let alone the way SJax forced the organization tocave to his desire to be moved. Monta HAS some value, at least, though probably still not FMV given last year's episode.

The irony in your statement is clear to a Warrior fan tough, "Terry's contract doesn't make sense for what Golden State would want anyhow". The problem is, they don't know what they want, and management has proven inept.

Jackson alone doesn't warrant as much attention as he's getting, IMO.

 

[acidicality]

wow Mikki Moore! Riley making moves!!!!

 

[lazyj10]

Has anyone, or is anyone listening to Fitz/Brooks...curious as to the spin

 

[dont be a menace]

eh don't really get the Mikki deal. it's not like we use big men often anyways. but it's not like i know a lot about his game too though.


and was just looking around youtube and saw an old boost mobile commercial of Kanye, Game and Luda and Boom was in it for some odd reason.

[h2]NBA source: Chilly market for Jackson, especially with new emphasis on conduct[/h2]
Posted by Tim Kawakami on August 31st, 2009 at 1:10 pm | Categorized as At-large

Three fast reasons why the initial reaction around the league to Stephen Jackson's trade request is NO WAY HE'S COMING HERE…

1) NBA Commissioner David Stern, according to one NBA source, has quietly emphasized to every team this summer that this is not the time to excuse players' off-the-court misbehavior and followed that up with real action.

There's a new CBA set to be negotiated soon-the current one will expire in 2011. There's this recession just beginning to wipe away large amounts of season-ticket and advertising money. Stern wants a clean house.

Now Jackson has been a model citizen off the court during his Warriors stay. But any team thinking of acquiring him would have to look at his previous issues, including multiple suspensions, and realize that any further SJax problem will bring the player and franchise into Stern's crosshairs.

2) The NBA strongly believes that it must and will knock back the salary levels in a new CBA, given the state of the economy and the struggles of a large handful of its franchises.

Jackson's three-year extension, due to begin next season, already is an albatross because of his age and potential liabilities.

But in a new economic climate, with a lower percentage guaranteed to the players and possibly a cratering salary-cap number, any deal for a 31-year-old that goes to $8.45M next year, $9.26M the year after that and finishes at $10.92M in 2012-'13 (TWO YEARS after the new CBA rules) is a looming disaster.

3) The only big contracts teams might consider acquiring are for young, ticket-selling players, such as
Monta Ellis. (Dallas or Memphis, anybody?)

Jackson is not young and not a ticket-seller. And no, there will be no re-negotiation. That's another sport you're thinking of, not the NBA.

I'm just wondering why we picked up Moore when we still have to try to develop Randolph and Wright. We still need to give Turiaf and Biedrinsminutes too.

 

[lazyj10]

Having a good veteran mentor them, per haps? By good, I don't mean overall skill level.

My co-worker just told me about Fitz's spin on this Jackson deal. Hilarious. Comparing the situation to Kobe's of a couple years ago. Appalling. Heknows where his paychecks are coming from clearly.
