Celtics Sign Mikki Moore

As expected, the Celtics signed seven-footer Mikki Moore for the rest of the season on Tuesday. Depth has been an area of concern for the Celtics from the moment they turned over half of their roster to acquire Kevin Garnett two summers ago. And with Garnett sidelined for at least another couple of weeks, the Celtics are especially shallow up front -- Moore and Kendrick Perkins are the only available big men on the roster taller than 6-foot-9.

Of course, as Tom Ziller pointed out earlier this week, Moore doesn't exactly make the most of his height -- he's one of the worst rebounding big men in the league and hasn't averaged even a single block per 36 minutes the past five years. But that's a mere formality: he takes up space and he's a veteran, which was apparently the only criteria the C's had in mind.
