E'Twaun Moore Signs Two-Year Deal With Bulls
Sep 16, 2014 2:26 PM EDT


Free agent guard E’Twaun Moore has signed a partially guaranteed two-year deal with the Chicago Bulls, a league source told RealGM.

The first season of Moore’s new contract will be 50 percent guaranteed, with a date in next July to determine his guarantee for the 2015-16 season, a source said.

After spending two consecutive seasons with the Orlando Magic, Moore became an unrestricted free agent and had been mulling offers for his next team. The Bulls fit Moore in his ability to score and shoot, and he’s comfortable near his hometown.

Moore, 25, averaged 6.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists last season. The 6-foot-4 two-guard is a career 35 percent three-point shooter.

Moore was selected by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2011 NBA draft. He spent one season with the Celtics before signing with the Magic as a free agent in 2012.

MY NOTE: Apparently being a conscienceless gunner with highly questionable shooting discipline and virtually no point guard or ball handling skills does have appeal, even to a defensive guru like Thibs. Good luck to Moore. He's actually hanging in there, in the NBA, while a lot of arguably more talented players are not. At the end of this 2-year contract he will be able to say he played in the NBA for 5 years and, if he plays well, might get the chance to add to that total. Pretty damn impressive for a #55 pick. And rare.

He's sort of like Chris Johnson without the athleticism.
