I'm sure we will hear multiple interviews this year with Monty going, "he does vet things" as the reason he plays. He gives you shooting and nothing else and doesn't even give you that that well.
Remember when MM tried to dog Jordan Hamilton for being an awful shooter and why would anyone ever want him? HE SHOT BETTER THAN SALMONS. Better at the rim, better in the corners. Salmons took near 40% of his shots from the dumb zone compared to Hamilton's 15%. salmons didn't shoot higher than 38% from any zone. The paint, 2pt jumper, or 3pt shots.
Salmons took equal to or more shots in three different areas JUST in the dumb zone than the corner 3s he's suppose to be so good at. Hamilton only had 3 other areas TOTAL he took more shots from than the corner 3. Where? One of the wing 3pts and at the rim. That's it.
There is no "he just has to not make mistakes" because that's what Salmons does. He takes shots in stupid ranges, he doesn't rebound, he doesn't, defend, he doesn't assist. He's old and played in the playoffs so they grabbed him. Period. He gives nothing beneficial ON THE COURT that someone else couldn't have given better.
This is a trash move. Period. If it's true that it was for the RLE then I'm highly disappointed in Dell and Monty. I'd rather Miller starting than this bum. And I don't even think Darius is NBA level.
