32-year  old small forward John Salmons has been simply awful for the Kings so far this year.  He has played in 18 games (all starts) for the Kings so far this year and he is averaging 27.9 minutes, 7.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 seals per game.  He is only shooting 34.5% from the floor and a miserable 22.6% from the three point line this year.  Donte Greene and Francisco Garcia are going to push Salmons for P.T. if he doesn’t pick up the pace soon.
