Salmons has a valuable contract, because his $7M is a team option for 2014-'14 season. He gives Hawks further ability to clear space.

The Hawks can waive Salmons by Monday and pay only $1 million of his $7 million salary next season.  Toronto will get a pretty good point guard who can likely soften the loss of Kyle Lowry if he bolts in free agency.
