Salmons is a lot like Diaw, they both want to be the focus of the offense. He doesn't take the backseat very well. Main reason he went to Sac when they were rebuilding, was to get more shots and playing time. Money was a secondary reason. He had a number of options, but winning wasn't his priority.

He's fantastic, but if you think he's going to be happy coming off the bench, then I would say you're mistaken.

He'd fit right in with Amare and Shaq.

I don't see why he couldn't start at SF...in saying that, Hill is twice the player starting as he is off the bench

Salmons off the bench would be great to have - but I'm with rsavaj - I don't think he'd be happy off the bench - then you've got to consider Salmons at the 3 - but with Richardson at SG, having Salmons in the starting lineup to me seems a bit redundant - utlitising him off the bench would seem to be more effective.
