John Salmons has helped lead the Bucks into playoff contention and with his future uncertain, he said Thursday that he would like to stay in Milwaukee.

"Oh, yeah. Definitely, definitely. Great team, great organization. I enjoy being here," he said.

Salmons can opt out of the $5.8 million option in his contract for the 2010-11 season. He's averaging nearly 20 points per game for Milwaukee and his value has surged since arriving from Chicago in February.

The Bucks have until June 30 to work an extension with Salmons. After that, he'd hit the open market.
