I'm glad to see this. Even with Donte playing a little better recently there are certainly minutes at SF position that are up for grabs. That has been our worst position all year and it's good to see Honeycutt get the opportunity to compete for some PT.

Well with C.Hayes coming back soon though he is not the same position . This move is odd to me considering Salmons was only sick last game likely wont be out long & Thorton wont be out long likely as well so bringing in Honeycutt to me says 1 of 2 things .

1. Either Thorton's injury is far worse than the KINGS thought wich I doubt . Or Salmons is alot sicker than just the simple couple days of feeling terrible but good enough after that were you can function at least normally there after .
Or 2. Their is as a trade likely to happen very shortly involving 1 of our small forwards . Likely Cisco or Salmons but could also be Green or Outlaw but I dont think Outlaw can be dealt this season due to signing him off of amnesty ?

If reasons 1 or 2 have nothing to do with the recalling Honeycutt then I am more than confused . Honeycutt has not really done anything special in the D-leauge to justify us bringing him back as of yet .

good point about the trade DC,

I have been looking but have not found any good rumor, if someone hears something please post about it.

I doubt there is any sort of trade going on. Usually guys get called up right before or right after. You honestly think they can trade Salmons right now with the way he's looked? It was well known that if Salmons worked for this team the role he had would never justify his salary so his value would plummet anyway. That part hasn't even worked though so you can only imagine that Kenny Thomas level of value he has at the moment.

True but Donte is tradeable, and Francisco is a longshot trade bait.

hmmm I dont know what to think of this move. If Honeycutt doesnt get PT then this is stupid.

I agree that Salmons value has diminished greatly . I think he is more tradable than you think.
Yes his stock has decreased & by quit a bit but 3 points I want to make all you may very well be aware of .

1. Salmons is a scoring sf though he has not really done that great this year he is in the same boat as alot of vets this year he is struggling in large part due to the lockout as many good players and some stars are Dirk , Amare & many others I am not comparing Salmons to them as we all know Salmons is nothing more than a good player not great or elite .
2. Salmons salary goes down by $500,000 per year for the remainder of his contract with I believe a team option in his last season . So his contract is more reasonable each year at least by a bit .
3. Lastly & most importantly I never said that Salmons was the one being traded that is to say their is even a trade . I mentioned him as well as Garcia , Green & Outlaw though I believe due to the amnesty rules Outlaw cannot be traded this season . I am not 100% sure about that rule as being fact .

Bottom line : The main point I am implying is that due to us having 4 others who can play the sf on our team bringing up Honeycutt is very telling to me as he is the 5th guy who can play sf . He has not been impressive in preseason , the d-leauge etc. Without a trade or another guard or sf on our team being injured for a long enough timeframe then it makes no sense bringing him up at all .
