    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Add New Jersey’s Mikki Moore to the list of free-agent big men who will visit the Bulls.

    Moore is expected to stop by the Berto Center today, while Philadelphia’s Joe Smith met with the Bulls on Thursday, and the Los Angeles Lakers’ Chris Mihm is scheduled for Saturday.

    The Bulls got to know the 7-foot Moore (whose first name is pronounced Mikey) too well in recent months.

    He hit 8 of 11 shots and scored 22 points for the Nets in a 106-97 win on April 18 that knocked the Bulls from the No. 2 to the No. 5 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.</div>

    Signing Moore would be a bad move on our part, the guy is an NBDL talent, who flourished last season because he had Jason Kidd setting him up with open looks and easy buckets.

    He would likely command our entire MLE, and really never live up to the expectations people would have of him, with that type of contract. Out of Smith, Moore, and Mihm I think Smith would be the best fit for the team we could lure him here without using up much of the MLE. God I hope PJ doesn't retire...

    I hope we don't sign a trash player like this. I mean no offense to the guy, but he sucks. I couldn't imagine wasting money on garbage like this.

    He has a pretty nice jumpshot and hustles for rebounds, plus he's 7 foot.. not for the full MLE though.

    He's definitely not MLE worthy. The only reason he was so good last year was because of Jason Kidd. No offense to Kirk Hinrich or anything, but he's no Jason Kidd, and I don't think that Moore would function nearly as well on the Bulls.

    Yeah, he's just a product of Jason Kidd. He is a complete waste of the MLE if we were to sign him. LLE, maybe.

    Yea we shouldnt get Moore. Paxson should try and trade Duhon, Khryapa, and a 2008 pick for Scola.

    PG-Hinrich 35/Thabo 13
    SG-Gordon 35/Thabo 10/Deng 3
    SF-Deng 32/Nocioni 17
    PF-Thomas 20/Scola 15/Noc 13
    C-Wallace 34/Noah 14
