SEATTLE -- The Seattle SuperSonics traded center Mikki Moore to the New Jersey Nets on Thursday for a second-round pick in the 2009 draft.

Moore played in 47 games last season, his first with the Sonics, but became expendable after Seattle drafted 7-footer Mouhamed Sene with the No. 10 pick in this year's draft. The inexperienced, 20-year-old Sene was thought to be headed for the NBA Development League at the start of next season, but general manager Rick Sund said Sene played "surprisingly well" for the Sonics' summer league team.

Seattle coach Bob Hill said his preference is to have Sene start next season with the Sonics, instead of in the D-League.

"We are pleased with the current depth of our roster in the post position and look forward to seeing what our three young centers bring to the court this season," Sund said in a statement.

Moore averaged 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game last season. He briefly played for New Jersey during the 2003-04 season, and has also played for Detroit, Atlanta, Boston, Utah and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Moore has averaged 4.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 303 career games.
