Our View:Salmons got a lot of help from his teammates tonight, namely Derrick Rose and Brad Miller. Still, the fact that he logged 60 minutes with a strained groin was heroic in and of itself.

|
March 13, 2009 John Salmons collected 14 points, seven boards, and three assists Friday night as the Bulls fell to the Sixers 104-101 at Wachovia Center.

|
February 27, 2009 John Salmons scored 25 points in 31 minutes off the bench, but Chicago lost to Washington 113-90 on Friday. He shot 8-of-13 with three rebounds and three assists.

He also has three rebounds, three assists, and two blocks. Our View:Salmons will see more playing time if his back improves, but games like this can still help the Bulls make a push towards the playoffs. However, games like this won't do much for his fantasy value. We'd suggest taking a wait-and-see approach with him as he is an extremely consistent scorer when healthy. |
|
February 18, 2009 John Salmons has been acquired by the Bulls along with center Brad Miller in exchange for Drew Gooden and Andres Nocioni, according to the Chicago Daily Herald.

|
January 27, 2009 John Salmons could be headed to Portland, according to OregonLive.com. Our View:The Blazers are said to have offered a draft pick and the expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz in exchange for Salmons, who has been an able scorer for Sacramento this season. |

|
January 21, 2009 John Salmons has only scored 20+ points four times in ten games during January, dropping his fantasy stock a bit. Our View:Salmons has been better since Kevin Martin returned to the lineup even though he had a down night on Tuesday, scoring just 13 against the Nuggets. |
|
January 17, 2009 John Salmons recorded 24 points on Friday to give him 49 over the past two nights. He also finished with six assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block. Our View:Salmons' fantasy value took a huge hit when he just scored three points on January 5th against the Nets, but it's rapidly climbing again after consecutive 20+ point games.

He finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists while hitting four three-pointers in the thrilling victory. Our View:Salmons took advantage of the Warriors *ahem* defense and was able to have one of his best performances of the season.
