Williams averaged 10.4 points in 60 games (seven starts) for the Hawks last season. He has played in 554 career games, 54 of them starts, for Philadelphia and Atlanta.

Salmons averaged 5.2 points in 78 games (eight starts) last season with Sacramento and Toronto. He was acquired from the Kings on Dec. 9, 2013 in a seven-player trade.
