Kings trading pick!

I'm not as opposed to this deal as some are. Salmons can defend, (kind of) shot, has experience winning (for some reason teams he's traded to make the playoffs in that season), and has the second funkiest beard in the NBA. At 3, he is a definite upgrade from
What we had at the spot now. And if we can somehow just convince him to take a less *ahem* pro-active role in the offense, this trade will work out in our favor, especially if we can snag a PG (now our biggest need) with the ten or trade it for another (words that OKC may be looking to trade Maynor for a rookie PG since they don't think they can afford him). So to everyone out there, I say:
Calm the Eff Down

You know I would be hard pressed to make up a worse deal than this. So help me if I have to listen to PW and Petrie defend the acquisition of Salmons I'm going to go on a bender. And funny part is this would take any of the positive air out of picking Jimmer. When I heard the Maloofs saying they would spend more money, I thought they meant guys that would actually make the team better.
I'm not against trading Salmons for someone better, but he is a great 3rd option for us at the 3 spot and can also play the 2. I've always though people hated on him too much when he was on our team and he was actually a very good player.
He defends the top perimeter guys very well and he can score. If we end up keeping him, I would not be mad at all. He is what Leonard can become in about 3-4 years.

This makes no sense at all. Horrible horrible trade on all frotns. Beno will be missed so horribly. But hey, to all season ticket holders, let me give you a preview of next year's games.
Play 1.Tyreke brings ball up the court. Dribbles. Dribbles. Dribbles. Skip hesitation, drives right. Body contact, Tyreke jumps a couple feet, contorts his body and tries to make a difficult layup.
Play 2. Tyreke holds ball for 10 seconds. passes to Salmons. Salmons drives.
Repeat for 48 minutes.
Petrie may be the new Kahn.

Wow so now the Jazz are trying to get ahead of us to grab Jimmer. So not only did we lose the only real PG on our team, move back in the draft, and take on 2 extra years of Salmons contract, we might lose the guy we targeted because this deal broke so early. Great job Petrie, what an epic draft blunder!
