According to hoopsworld.com:

MVP: John Salmons was the safe choice even with guard Kevin Martin and Ron Artest both averaging over 20 points per game this season. Salmons was steady on the offensive end of the court for the Kings and had the task of covering the opposition's best perimeter player each game, which he faired quite well all season. Salmons, who is the Kings' best overall player, played in 81 games (21 more than Kevin Martin and 25 more than Ron Artest this season) and averaged a solid 12.5 points while grabbing 4.3 rebounds down in the trenches for the Kings this season. If you are looking for a guy who fills the stat sheet and played hard every night, Salmons provided that for the Kings. Because of Salmons, head coach Reggie Theus now knows he has another solid player to compliment Artest and Martin in helping lead this organization for many years to come.
