Dell's the one signing them, not Monty.


So Monty has no say so in the roster??

If we had a young guy behind him that we wanted to get minutes then it'd matter. Right now we're probably looking at the SF version of Stiemsa + MBenga + Dleaguers. If he plays a vet bum more minutes than Tyreke though...

Are we really bitching about this? The roster is very strong and I will be suprised if any SF comes in and plays a ridiculous number of minutes.

Evans is going to play with two other guards during the game at times.

Why not just sign Josh Howard for the minimum instead of paying Salmons $2m


Howard doesn't even look like a starter on the summer league team.

Purely a move to get some experience by Dell IMO


John Salmons isnt the kind of experience you want on your roster... hes mainly been a volume scorer on bad teams his entire career.

I have no idea. But I am sure Dell gets the ultimate say.

Pels need a vet. The oldest guy on our team basically quit on his team last year and the second oldest is EG .... he's not a shining example of how a teammate acts.

All that being said, if Marion or Garcia go to a non-contender for the same price that would suck...

Look I'm fine with Salmons is if he's on the bench. Vet guy that can score in a pinch and log a few minutes.

But if we gave up our Exception and/or he's starting for us..ug.

as far as defensive production, I totally agree. Salmons can't guard premier 3s anymore, not that he was ever a big defender to begin with.


Salmons has always been known to be a very good defender, maybe not so much anymore, but i'm sure he can hold his own against the average SF not named Lebron/Durant/George/Melo
He shoots the three well and has always been a scraper of a player. If he does that, i'll be satisfied.

I like it.

I think Demps has done a pretty good job of taking Monty's crack away. If our plan for SF is to hit the corner 3 and funnel guys to AD/Asik then Salmons may not be as inadequate as we're all thinking. The Spurs make nobodies look special by being able to limit what they ask them to do.

Yeah, because a title contender would have been beating down his doors. No title contender would want him.

I don't like Salmons, but I really don't care either way. With the options left, whoever we plug into that SF spot is only gonna be our 8th?, 9th?, 10th man? Whether he starts or not.

If healthy, our best lineup is still going to be Holiday, Gordon, Tyreke, Anderson, Davis. And Asik in there for Anderson depending on matchups.

It's really not THAT bad of a deal. You're quick to criticize something when you have no idea how things are going to pan out.
