EAM, I would say Salmons is different than Gordon. Salmons will be more consistent than Gordon on offense. He will not be as explosive as Gordon. He will play much better defense than Gordon. He will spend most of his time at the 2 spot, ocassionally playing the 3. I definitely feel that the Bulls guard rotation with Rose, Salmons, Hinrich, Pargo and Hunter will be better than 2008/09.

I agree with your comment their EAM, Salmons was a better pickup player then BG, but don’t forget ‘EAM’, Salmon was not that bad as a ball handler then BG was in the past, creating a lot of turnovers and lot the ball handle. Hopefully Salmon will continue his good career that he had last season with even more better numbers. Go BULLS!

I like Salmons alot, but better than Gordon? No. Gordon has better career averages. He is a better shooter. Last season was Salmons most productive year. He shot very well. He gets to the basket but his handle is shakey. Hopefully he continues to improve because without him the bulls would be in a world of hurt.

This guy was such a great pickup…he can play the two if needed, but is great at that Small Forward Position…I really hope Tyrus will breakout along with Noah. This will be a fun season without BG because we are moving into the right direction now. The most important thing is for Rose to make another step forward to that superstar level.

Salmon was a great pick-up player for the Bulls last season from Sacramento in order to replace BG presents this year. Now that Salmon will take over the SG spot. The Bulls will become a bigger & better defensive team this year, with a lot of ball movements & improvement of developing young players like: Ty Thomas, J. Noah, L. Deng, D. Rose & others. will play much better without BG. GO BULLS!!! Can wait until the season starts again.

Not bad on the nickname, but why does everyone always focus on his last name? I mean it’s kind-of low hanging fruit, don’t you think? A really creative nickname goes a bit deeper to capture the essence of the person. I think we should try and build one based off of John’s god-awful facial hair. How about “King Tut”? …Or “PubeChin”, or maybe “Richard Hamilton II”.

I agree with garcia, believe it or not people the Bulls have another chance of getting into the playoffs this year for sure! Now that they have lost BG the Bulls are going to become a much better improve defensive team along with Rose improving as well. Having Salmon to replace BG spot make more sense now. Salmon is a bigger guard at 6-6, he can average about about 18-20 points per game, play good defense and an unselfish player that can past the ball to his open teammates. The only thing we will miss about BG present was his big shots under pressure, which is no big deal b-cuz we have Rose, Pargo and Hinrich to hit those shots. Plus the Bulls are getting back Deng soon at 100% and hopefully he will become an improve player then last year. Along with Ty Thomas, J. Noah and the 2 rookies.
