More from Amick on Salmons...

#1
(12:10 p.m.)
* Salmons is a popular man. And I badly wish I could share a line from one particular contact about just how popular he is (family newspaper and family blog) but I'll resort to sharing the humor around the office.


Anyways, Oklahoma City is in the mix as well with the expiring for Desmond Mason ($5.3 million) and three priceless first round picks at its disposal. San Antonio is involved as well, but doesn't appear to have enough to get it done.


* According to a Kings Twitter update, Salmons and rookie point guard Bobby Brown won't play tonight against Atlanta. Hmmm... To be fair, I wasn't aware of a Brown injury but Salmons is dealing with a back problem.


* To pass the time while you wait, go ahead and read this Newsday piece that may have just revealed that the Maloofs' financial troubles are far worse than previously thought.

That OKC rumor is more like it.

Get us a legit expiring and some picks... is that so much to ask?

Edit: Maloofs lost HUNDREDS of millions .. that is rediculous.

Ill take the Expiring and a cuple picks from Oklahoma... Does anyone know how much we would be under the cap with Shareefs situation and Masons expiring this year? plus isnt mason hurt so he cant be traded.?

IF we are far enough under the cap maybe we can make a move for Sessions aswell.

Does this mean he has some information he can't relay, or am I misunderstanding it? Perhaps he knows of a strong offer on the table...

Either way, I'd be down for Mason and a 1st for Salmons. Maybe try to push for two 1sts, although that may be a little much.

Actually, I think the line was a sexually explicit analogy. He mentions that he can't share it with us because it's a family newspaper so he'll have to share it with his coworkers instead.

i believe he was hinting that the source made some sort of dirty joke about the popularity of salmons that couldnt be shared in a "family newspaper"

He just updated it..

12:32 p.m.)

* I've been told more about the Chicago-Kings deal and had the pieces confirmed.

It's Salmons and Miller for Nocioni, Gooden, Michael Ruffin (expiring worth $1.1 million) and Cedric Simmons ($1.7 million expiring). And there are indications that it's close to happening.

Why in the world would Petrie do this instead of just dumping Salmons for Mason and a late 1st? That would save almost as much $$

He can be traded, we just have to waive his physical.

This deal is more like it. Let's get under the cap for 2009, not 2010. I sincerely doubt any star will sign with Sacramento. Actually, I doubt many will change teams.
 
#17
that chicago deal ain't happening. Petries not retarded. I would be down for the OKC trade though. And no, we are not getting an expiring contract AND two first round picks from OkC for john. One sounds right and fair IMO

Well if this gives us enough money to make a run at Sessions we should this.

If the Chicago deal goes down Geoff is in fact retarded and this team is truly in trouble. If this deal goes down, and when everythign washes out and it's apparent how bad of a job Geoff did, then he should be fired.

Please don't let that deal happen.

* It's getting stranger by the minute. I'll say that much.
There are a few conflicting signs out there, but a top source says the Kings are talking to New Jersey about a deal that would send Miller and Salmons to the Nets for hometown boy Ryan Anderson ($1.2 million this season, $1.3 next season with two team options thereafter), Stromile Swift ($6.2 million expiring), Trenton Hassell ($4.3 million this season with $4.3 million next as player option), and Eduardo Najera ($3.4 million this season, $3.1 million in 2009-10, $2.8 million in 2010-11 and $2.6 million in 2011-12).


See that latest one from Amick?

If this is ture it would be a good trade get a young talent and expiring and some cheap contracts that could be easier to move then the ones we have now
