I was just looking at his stats and I thought it would be interesting to reflect on that series of events. If you remember, Colangelo gave him a well-sized contract and he agreed tentatively, but went back on his word and instead used that offer to get a better one from Sacramento. We ended up signing Fred Jones instead (who turned out to be a bust and was traded for Juan Dixon). The important thing though, was that the majority of us (at least on JBB) had no idea why Colangelo was offering so much money to Salmons. He had been a decent bench player in Philly who stepped up when AI was out, but didn't look to be anything particularly special. A lot of us were actually relieved when he backed out and preferred Jones over him. His stats so far this season:</p> In 21 games, he's averaging 15.2 ppg (48.9 FG%, 46.7 3PT%), 3.0 apg, 4.9 rpg, and 1.3 spg. Now, I'm not necessarily bitter because we eventually ended up with Carlos Delfino to play that role and I'm a huge fan of his. But those are pretty great numbers and they seem to affirm BC's reasoning at the time.</p>
He's a good player but I'm not too worried about numbers he's putting up on a brutal Kings team (Beno Udrih is also averaging close to 15 points there).</p>
I think it should be Salmon's regretting not signing with Toronto. He's on a losing club in Sac-town and they're looking like they aren't going any where soon, while the Raps are doing a lot better.</p>

WWJD? Back out of a verbal agreement with the Raps, that's what he'd do.
