Bye bye Beno? Welcome back Salmons? Jimmer with the 10th pick?

In my mind it only makes sense if we get Jimmer. If that occurs, we have upgraded our SF position and our guards. On the other hand, those of you who were angry about ball dominant Tyreke will have another person throw throw darts at. Maybe Tyreke will keep the ball away from John. It's not perfect but our team becomes better if ......... Jimmer.
I am very disappointed.

First off, thanks Beno for your solid effort, professionalism, and leadership. Welcome Jimmer to Sacramento and hope you are highly successful here. Welcome back Johnny and hope you help us even more than before and at least Ron-Ron won't get in your way this time.
Now, I have to get this off my chest. This trade and swap of higher pick for a lower one seems like obvious ownership (Gavin!) meddling. Either that or GP was under some kind of internal pressure and simply got hoodwinked by cross talk of Milwaukee and Charlotte braintrusts. Dunce move!!

The trade and the pick solved the two problems we had: a PG/SG or whatever you chose to call him and a SF. Was Salmons perfect? No, not at all. It DOES take the mystery out of the summer as now we have little to do that is pressing. THAT may have had a large factor in what was done. The question to me is not whether Jimmer was a good pick but whether Salmons is better than any of the possible free agent signings such as Kirilenko, Prince, Battier, Boozer, etc. I don't know and it will depend a great deal on whether John thinks that passing to Cuz is a good thing.
Since the trade is still not officially official you have to believe the Kings could have backed out if Jimmer wasn't their guy. I don't really know why we want to bring a guy back it seemed we couldn't wait to get rid of, but who knows???
Don't love it, can't even say I really like it, but I think we got what we wanted out of this, I'm just not sure why we want it.

I don't think anything that Salmons brings to the SF position to fill the relative weakness at that spot is in any way worth the loss of getting Knight. I don't even think it's worth losing Beno, who was the team's most consistent player all season long. Salmons isn't the same guy who we saw with Artest a few years back. He's lost some of his speed, he's lost some consistency, and hasn't been that great for the bucks who needed perimeter support on both ends.
