John Salmons and Milwaukee Bucks One Step Closer to a Deal?

John Salmons announced that he's "opting out" of his final year. Does that mean the Milwaukee Bucks are one step closer to signing him? This does make Salmons an unrestricted free agent. Milwaukee, all hope is not lost. Salmons is trying to land a three-year deal and we're all for that. Pay the man!

Milwaukee Bucks 2010 Playoffs | Is There A Chance for the Bucks?

Milwaukee Bucks 2010 Playoffs are still a possibility. John Salmons was traded to the Bucks on February 18. In return, the Chicago Bulls get Joe Alexander and Hakim Warrick. Milwaukee also picks up a pair of second round draft choices.

John Salmons was literally out of place for most of his first night on the court for Milwaukee. He was getting some serious on-the-job training from Bogut, Jennings, etc. He didn't have a good night, but sank a very important three-pointer with just seconds to play. That score put the game out of reach. Salmons ended the night with 19 points in the Pistons game, and sent Detroit packing.

The next night, he scored another 19 points, and Brandon Jennings did the same. The Bucks are in the midst of a three-game win streak. They have the eighth spot in the playoffs at the time of this post. They are selling extra Bradley Center tickets for the upcoming game, just because of the win streak and Salmons acquisition.
