Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons
i dont know what to think here, bonzi being gone hurts us next season, but is better for the future. but if that is true, why did the kings offer him a 5 year contract?  besides that, petrie is not satisfied with this roster, which is worse than last season's roster (with artest). he has something up his sleeve, whether it's a sign and trade, i dont know, but he knows what he's doing.

We need interior D from someplace, but there is no one worthwhile left in free agency. Who would you prefer, Kelvin Cato or Lorenzen Wright?

Wright is the better player IMO, but those guys don't impress me at all. Is there still a possibility to do a sign and trade with Bonzi, or are we letting him walk for nothing? I was hoping we could maybe get Wilcox or something.

Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons
Why would you want to keep Bonzi. I personally think it was a great move to let Wells walk. A few years in to his contract he would begin to start trouble...You guys have 2 great SG's in Kevin Martin and Francisco Garcia. And KMart showed last year he is ready to start...

Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons
My brother, who is a Sixers fan, says that Salmons is basically Garcia without the outside shooting and he also has a bad attitude and work ethic. Ugh, I don't understand this signing at all...  |

They signed four-year small forward John Salmons to a five-year, $25.5 million contract on Monday.

Salmons' deal starts at $4.4 million, with 8 percent increases every season thereafter. The Kings, who are over the league's salary cap, used their midlevel exception to sign Salmons. They still have $800,000 remaining from the $5.2 million exception to sign other free agents.

Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons
...why?
I don't want to rain on the parade or anything, but I don't understand this move. I can see letting Bonzi walk because Kevin Martin's ready to go and is going to wow a lot of people next year. But John Salmons has never proven much of anything in the league, and the team already has a similar, cheaper version of him in Francisco Garcia.

Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons, will no longer pursue re-signing Bonzi
^Yeah, it doesn't make loads of sense right now. I was at work, so I heard all of this second hand, but apparently Petrie didn't make it sound like a Bonzi S&T was very likely either. Kings fans can only hope this has somethng to do with a trade we haven't heard anything about yet.
On the bright side, we have two scoring point guards and now we have 2 wings who can play the point.
The Kings, TO, and Pheonix, three teams with well thought-of management groups were all willing to sign Salmons to similiar deals, and TO and Pheonix seemed to prefer him to Banks and Fred Jones, so maybe they know something we don't.

Re: Kings sign free-agent forward John Salmons, will no longer pursue re-signing Bonz
Its time for Kevin to shine. I am excited about watching him get his chance next season. We'll forget all about Bonzi Wells. Too bad he isn't back but if he wanted too much then that was the right thing to do. Wouldn't have been able to trade him in a couple of years for Kevin anyway.

No, you are thinking of Willie Green, back-up guard for Philly.
Salmons, IMO, is an underachiever. He has the skills and potential but never showed any drive or consistancy on the court.
