Bucks' Salmons headed to Hawks?

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard John Salmons(notes) could stick around Milwaukee for another season and make $5.8 million or he could opt out and see if any team is interested in offering more dough than that.

If he opts out, it appears that the Atlanta Hawks will be very interested since its star shooting guard, Joe Johnson(notes), appears to be ready to fly the coop as well, according to the Milwaukee Journal Times. Johnson will be a free agent and there are a few teams that supposedly would like to bring him aboard, most noticeably the New York Knicks.

The 6'7" Johnson is averaging 20.9 points per game in the playoffs. He had an average of 21.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game during the season. The 6'6" Salmons put up 17 points per game during the playoffs and averaged 15.4 points, 2.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game during the regular season.
