Finally a Big Guy.

Celtics Sign Mikki Moore

BOSTON, MA The Boston Celtics announced today that the club has signed free agent center/forward Mikki Moore. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Mikki's length, energy, skill and experience, along with his enthusiasm to come to Boston, will be a great boost for us." said Danny Ainge, Celtics President of Basketball Operations.

Moore, a 7'0", 225lb center/forward, is in his 11th NBA season. Moore has posted career averages of 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 54.8 percent from the field. This is Moore's second stint with the Celtics after he spent a portion of the 2002-03 season with the team. The former Nebraska Cornhusker has posted career playoff averages of 10.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in 15 games. He also shot 54.5 percent from the field in those 15 games.

Moore will wear #7.

Good timing too--Scal's headed to Boston after getting hit in the head...again.

  2. He's probably (hopefully) coming here. i feel like since we got rid of O'Bryant AND Cassell we were clearing up room for a big guy and a true backup PG. Once Marbury's arbitration case or whatever gets settled i'm expecting we'll sign him. Once that happens i'll post a prrrrrrroper review or whatevs.
