EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New Jersey Nets on Thursday acquired center Mikki Moore from the Seattle SuperSonics for a 2009 second-round draft pick.

Moore fills a need up front for New Jersey, which will be without the services of rookie power forward Josh Boone for four to six months after undergoing shoulder surgery.

The 7-foot Moore, 30, averaged 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds last season for Seattle. In eight seasons with seven teams, he has career marks of 4.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 303 games.

"We are pleased to add Mikki to our roster," Nets president Rod Thorn said. "He is a veteran presence who will add depth to our frontcourt rotation."
