it would've been nice to see Kings keep Bonzi but I can understand why they didn't....the playoff series, which is indicative of his talent level, really inflated his value....I don't know what's Bonzi is asking, but I'd give him $7 million per year....as for Salmons, whilst I've liked him since his was a freshman at Miami (Fl), too me he's just a pretty good talent who hasn't & probably won't live up to his potential....I think he's more of a $3 million per year than a mid-level guy, but hopefully I'm proved wrong....the good sign with this deal is that the Kings have a nice backcourt with Bibby, Martin, Garcia, Hart & Salmons....whilst it won't wow anyway, I think it could be pretty effective if Martin, Garcia & Salmons improve as expected....
