Kings Have Signed John Salmons - Bye, Bye Bonzi!!

[D-Mass]

The only reason i can think of is for a trade with another team that wants Salmons. Petrie is a)losing his mind b)has alzheimers or c)is high and unable to think.

The only teams who wanted him were Phoenix and Toronto

John Salmons. As I remember, he is a somewhat versatile SF, without decent jumpers. With Artest and Garcia.... Please somebody tell me what's going on.

I'm somewhat disappointed that Wells will just walk out.
I'm EXTREAMLY disappointed that we will get another swingman!

Geeez. We've waited so long, and this is the result?

Anyway, bye bye Bonzi. Thanks for the great memory.

Petrie says they want more versatility on the wings like they had a few years ago.

And we still have the player who made it all work-oops we traded him...

 

[Viking]

All I can say is this is not a move motivated for team success... This is motivated by one thing, and it's the Maloofs continuing to do this...

Thing is he turned down a huge contract in toronto so we'll probably also pay out the $%$ for him nonetheless... and oh yeah. He's ANOTHER MEDIOCRE FORWARD that we don't need.

Mid level was used on Salmons.

 

[TheJoker]

Is it time to say FIRE GEOFF???

 

[JJ22L]

Im going to vote against an arena if this crap keeps going and nobodys being signed. How do they expect the fans to get pumped at keeping the Kings with signing like this? BS I quit. :\

I hate to admit it- but in a sick twisted way that made me laugh

 

[jay dubb]

Did he say anything about a sign and trade with Bonzi?

 

[Sac.Kings]

I can't get over it, and if we give Salmons more money than what the Raps offered him, i am going to have a heart attack.

 

[Viking]

Is it time to say FIRE GEOFF???

if we pay him anything near the amount of money Toronto was offering - yes


especially since we don't need him and he helps us in no way. (Salmons)

 

[sdballer]

Mid level was used on Salmons.

The FULL mid-level???

 

[JJ22L]

...MLE was used on salmons...excuse me while i go induce myself into vomitting

 

[Sac.Kings]

Holy ****, i can't breathe. I am going to go throw up like i never did before.

 

[hoops4kings]

The FULL mid-level???

That's what Petrie said.

Maybe this opens a trade for Magloire now. Something along this lines we sign and trade Bonzi to the Hawks for thier TE they got from the Pacers which then we trade along with Garcia for Magloire. It could be a possibility maybe that is hold up with the Pacer Hawks trae. Maybe the Hawks are waiting for us to sign a SG so they can get Bonzi from us.

Thing is, we just used up the money that would have gone to Bonzi, whether in a sign or trade or not. If we sign and trade Bonzi now we end up over the tax threshhold.

The $$ now become a huge concern. Signing John Salmons is just...whatever. Signing him for 5yrs at the MLE or whatever is insane.

 

[Viking]

This was a real knucklehead move.

Bonzi is gone. We are not going to sign and trade him. He's a part of Kings history. Period.

I've been in this forum for the last hour and I still don't know what to say. Petrie....??

 

[SacKings384]

The ENTIRE MLE? ON JOHN F'ING SALMONS! JOHN SALMONS! FOR JOHN... SALMONS!!! Geoff you really ****ed this one up big time. And for all those thinking this would lead to a trade 1.Why would Salmons nix a deal to Toronto just so he could sign with the Kings and get traded? 2.Who the hell wants John FRICKIN Salmons for the entire MLE?

 

[gunks]

Jeeze...

...I'm gonna become a lakers fan

 

[Sac.Kings]

the MLE on a player we don't need, and nothing left for any big man i was hoping for.

 

[Viking]

One step forward, Two steps back.



Wonderful... Yeah, that's really going to make us a better team.. NO.

 

[JJ22L]

...please God let there be a method to Petries madness. A gold liner? No? We signed Salmons for the FULL MLE, what? We need a big not another tweener forward that cant rebound? GAWD...why dont we just call ourselves the Sacramento 76ersfodderaccepters.

Petrie..asdklf;jaskdlfj<---Thats how i feel about this. (If my opinion even mattered)

I couldn't have said it better.


Petrie, you f***ed up, man.

But if you really think about it Jamal's contract expires next year.

 

[jay dubb]

Are we going to get a defensive big?, thats all I care about right now forget Bonzi we have Kev

 

[hoops4kings]

Can't wait to hear the happy callers on KHTK 1140. LOL!

 

[LPKingsFan]

It gets worse. Mike actually called Petrie out about the rebounding concerns, and what Petrie had to say makes me feel slightly ill.

He claimed that we need to get better "as a team." And that maybe we would make another move "down the road" if things get bad. That doesn't sound good. He said the Kings will be worse in rebounding but better in "other areas." I wonder if he really gets it???

 

[JJ22L]

I couldn't have said it better.


Petrie, you f***ed up, man.

petrie no longer deserves to have his name capitalized
