    Technically i agree with you. And i would like to add one of them. But still there is no guarantee. The last two years Vince and Jefferson and Kidd played together they brought it every night and still were not very good.

    Travis coming to play "1 out of 4 games" sounds like Mixum. An exageration. Plus as stated before he is our BU pF not our starting SF. But again I would trade him for Butler.

    Anyone who says that Salmons is not an upgrade over what we have is kidding themselves. He's definately third on my list behind Butler and Wallace, but don't sell the guy short. He's gotten better and better, shoots a good percentage from the field and three, is a pretty good defender and is pretty tough to boot.

    He could be a very nice piece to add to this team that helps us win this year, but doesn't sacrifice much in the future. If that option is on the table, and Butler and Wallace are not or are too expensive, I say do it.

    Salmons is having some back issues right now, don't know if that will hurt his trade value or not. Don't think it's real serious but the allstar break doesn't appear to have helped him much. He missed practice yesterday and he's day-to-day, like a certain someone else.

    Hmm.. Salmons played in the last game before the break last Wednesday, and had a week to recover and is still injured and might not play? Maybe the Kings don't want him to get injured before trading him.
