Salmons will be waived by the Suns following Thursday's trade from New Orleans, the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Salmons managed just 21 appearances in the Pelicans' 53 games this season, averaging two points (on 33 percent shooting) and one rebound in 13 minutes. Personal concerns were cited as his lack of presence at times in New Orleans, but in any case, he'll likely find it difficult to land another NBA gig in his 13th season.

Salmons' 13th season in the NBA will be his first with the New Orleans Pelicans, after the small forward inked a new deal with New Orleans this offseason. In 78 games between the Kings and Raptors last season, Salmons averaged 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 22 minutes per game. Salmons also averaged 0.6 steals per game and shot a strong 39 percent on his three-point attempts. Unfortunately, he struggled on all shots that weren't three-pointers, shooting a career-worst 36 percent from the field. Salmons has a shot at earning a starting job this season depending on whether coach Monty Williams wants to see Tyreke Evans in a sixth man role, but even as a starter, Salmons' ceiling is limited. The Pelicans need a replacement for Anthony Morrow's shooting, but Salmons' shooting is the extent of his usefulness. Even in his prime half a decade ago, Salmons never averaged more than 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He's not the same scorer he was in years past, but if the right opportunity arises due to injury, Salmons could end up providing a bit of scoring for owners.
