Salmons was at home for the birth of his child and it isn't known when he will return. He's not seeing enough playing time to be of value to fantasy owners.

John Salmons will sign with the Pelicans. It's fitting that the Pelicans can swoop up Salmons, but he's not expected to see major minutes. The Raptors had a roster bonus on Salmons, so it was more a matter out money that they cut him .

The Atlanta Hawks will officially waive John Salmons on Thursday. The Hawks had been waiting for the free agency period to officially start before waiving the newly-acquired Salmons. Now that the free agency period has officially begun, the Hawks will quickly cut ties with Salmons and buy out his $1 million contract.

The Hawks won't be releasing John Salmons on Monday before the free agent period starts. The plan is to extend the deadline between the two sides to July 10, and this may be among the most uneventful news of the night.

John Salmons was traded to the Hawks on Sunday, though Atlanta is expected to quickly buy out his contract for $1 million. The deal is all about saving salary-cap space for the Hawks, and Salmons will soon enter the pool of unrestricted free agents. The 34-year-old swingman made 38.7 percent of his 3-pointers last season but shot just 36.3 percent overall, and fantasy owners should shun him in all but the deepest formats.

John Salmons could be traded to the Grizzlies in a deal for Tayshaun Prince. The Raptors would also get the 22nd pick in the deal, which would be a big win for the Raptors despite taking on Prince's $7.7 million next year. Salmons has a roster bonus coming on July 1, so he'll be waived by the Raptors if they don't ship him out of town. He wouldn't have fantasy value with the Grizzlies at full strength.

John Salmons will likely waived by the Raptors if he's still on the roster on June 30. The Raptors would pay $1 million and save $6 million with Salmons on the roster during July. He wasn't much of a factor for the Raptors since they acquired him in the Rudy Gay deal, averaging 5.0 points, 2.0 boards and 1.7 assists in 60 games with the Raptors.

John Salmons played 34 minutes against the Wizards during Thursday's 134-129 triple-overtime loss with seven points, five boards, three assists and one 3-pointer. Terrence Ross (ankle) went down with an ankle sprain in the first half and it allowed Salmons to start the second half. His numbers haven't really taken off with the Raptors and is shooting just 36.7 percent from the field on the season. He's only worth a speculative add in deep leagues.

John Salmons will play on Tuesday despite a sore lower back. He was limited during shootaround but feels well enough to suit up as Toronto goes for their seventh win in the past eight games. Salmons hasn't scored double-digit points since Feb. 3 and there's no reason to trust him outside of the deepest leagues.

John Salmons scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including three treys) with two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes off the bench on Monday. Salmons will use some sort of Jedi mind trick to convince a coach to play him, which he has done yet again in Toronto, and then he'll put up a few lines like this before shrinking back into the shadows. He had 11 points and nine assists on Friday and he's worth a look in deeper leagues while he's hot.
