Ford for Salmons?

LX · 06-15-2008, 04:37 PM

Doug Smith's big scoop - sorta:

Quote:

Then I run into another colleague who wonders whether Sacramento’s a possible trading partner in a T.J. Ford deal.

When I asked what kind of guy the Kings might want to divest themselves of, the first name mentioned was John Salmons.

And seeing how he believes divine intervention kept him from signing with the Raptors when he had promised to two years ago, I think that’s a non-starter. Unless, of course, God had a change of mind.

Pure speculation, but I like that line of thought much better than Maggette. And it makes sense for both teams.

**Belsius** · 06-15-2008, 04:51 PM

I like it too. The 4 or 5 games I have seeing of Sacramento I liked him. Maybe we could get something better for TJ tough.

Can we make a TJ for Kevin Martin one ?lol.

God doesnt want Salmons in Toronto.

Someone had to say it.

Nor do I. I think we can get better for Ford and I'm not overvaluing either. I don't like Salmons period.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-15-2008, 07:05 PM

Yeah, Salmons is a very good 6th or 7th man but we have enough of those right now.

salmons, draft pick, and cash
or no way

Neither do i.He's not good enough but not only that, Salmons only makes half the money T.J makes so we'd have to get another player and i don't see anyone else on that roster i would really want!

lets let colangelo do his thang
and since salmons snubbed the raps, and worse, colangelo, saying he wanted to play for phoenix, i dont thing this trade works. i second the tj for kevin martin trade. we'll even throw in joey g. cmon, its a bargain

Kay, a second ago I said no to the Ford for Salmons deal because I think I'd be undervaluing Ford's worth, but a Ford for Martin deal is an insult if your the Kings. Even if you throw in Graham who is worth a bag of basketballs in my opinion. Kevin Martin is their "franchise" player, so it would take alot more than Ford and Graham to get him.

Yeah, Martin is one of the best young talents in the league. He is going to be an allstar sooner or later. Sacramento would be stupid if they dealt him.

No chance, BC will NOT deal for the man that snubbed him, resulting in a freddy jones signing...we all know how that turned out

Plus Martin only makes 1.8 Million a year.There would have to be more to the deal!

He making $9 million starting next season and going up over the next 4 to 5 years jeff. So if anything, we would have to add some more peeps to such a deal. (that would never happen in a million years)

Here's the Kings payroll for starting next season: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/sacramento.htm

Yeah, he signed that huge contract halfway through last season. And might I add, deservedly so.

I'd take Garcia off of their hands.

Hmmm .... I forgot about him .... I too like Garcia.

MangoKidHoops · 06-16-2008, 09:19 AM

I like Garcia too, but I don't think the kings would let him go that easily. He made huge strides this year.

**INSIDER** · 06-16-2008, 09:42 AM

Sacramento doesnt need Ford.
Beno Udrih is going to be an extremely solid PG... he reminds me of the next calderone.
just watch; this season will be his breakout year.

and why the hell do we want Salmons? the guy shafted us last season...
if we do a trade with Sac-town, i'd like to see us grab artest.
sure he's a head case, but he's what we need. a tough-nosed gritty baller.
