    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The Sacramento Kings today signed free agent guard John Salmons to a multi-year contract, it was announced by Kings? President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. Per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

    ?We?re excited to add a versatile player like John to our team,? said Petrie. ?He can play three positions. We feel he?s still an emerging player in the NBA. He?ll add to the youth and overall skill level of our backcourt, and I?m really looking forward to watching him play for the Kings.? </div>

    Bonzi probably fits better though, if he would have played like he did in the playoffs. I guess they aren't getting him back.

    I wonder where he'll go now, then. I'm surprised, I thought he was a lock to come back to the Kings.

    Bonzi Wells won't be playing at all this season, Ron Artest will have shot and killed him by then.

    Everytime Iverson didn't play, Salmons came in & did a great job. Watch out for this team! Artest made sure that everyone stepped it up when he came aboard. BUT, very stupid move to fire the coach, Aldeman (sp?)

    They have a SG who has a awsome game, his playing was nill this past season. I believe his last name is Nelson? NOt sure, will find out.

    Bonzi will be getting a fat contract after how well he did last season, he was S I C K in the PO's!!!!!! I use to have a SIC pic of him almost touching his head on the rim. His vert is in the mid's 40's

    we (kings) offered him the most money, around 7mil a year for like 5years, roughly $35-37mil total on the offer sheet.
    his agent wanted more money, but no other team that wants him can pay that much, (like denver, indiana, and detroit) with this signing, bonzi will not return and everyone is saying that his agent skrewed him over so the most he will get is the MLE for like 3years max.

    My only question though, is he worth the contract?
