Why not Salmons?

I agree with Canzano, KP needs to make a move to improve the team, THIS YEAR, using RLEC.

Batum simply is not ready for heavy minutes in the playoffs and the team needs a scorer/defender/creator at the 3 in order to win the crucial games after the break.

I have seen a lot of contempt on the board regarding a Salmons trade, but no serious discussion of his merits.

From what I see him producing this season, he looks like a poor man's B-Roy with the ability to score, slash and defend.  It seems to me this is just what the Blazers need from the SF position.

So the question, if Salmons will fit the Blazers' need this season, what's wrong with:

RLEC+ 1st round pick for Salmons and Kenny Thomas?
