Mikki still likes Nets, but talks with Bulls - 布魯克林籃網 Brooklyn Nets

Saturday, July 7, 2007



Mikki Moore was in Chicago on Friday meeting with Bulls officials. The free
agent big man is being pursued by several teams, but his first choice is to
return to the Nets.

Moore's agent Mark Bartelstein called Friday's meeting "a good visit and
that's kind of where it is right now."


Moore, who also has received interest from Utah, Philadelphia and Golden
State, is the second big man the Bulls flew in for a meeting. They had Joe
Smith in on Thursday. Today, Chicago is scheduled to sit with Chris Mihm.

If Moore gets the midlevel exception -- more than $5 million per season --
it's probably more than the Nets are willing to pay. They're thinking along
the lines of $3 million to $4 million.

Nets president Rod Thorn characterized the negotiations with Bartelstein as
"ongoing," and said "it's certainly a possibility," that Moore could sign
elsewhere.

Earlier this week, of the Nets Moore said, "I love this team. I love this
organization. It's going to take a lot for me to get pulled away from this
situation."
