On Tuesday, John Salmons opted out of the last year of his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks to become a free agent. The move came as a surprise to no one. Salmons was going to make $5.8 million if he had played out his final year but wanted to get a new contract during free agency. The talented guard/forward has taken longer than most players to develop his game in the NBA but has been a quality player for the past several seasons. Salmons attended the University of Miami and was selected with the 26 overall pick in 2002 by the San Antonio Spurs.
