    1. Calderon is better than Bobby Brown. (As are many others).

    2. Calderon is a legit playmaker who takes care of the basketball in addition to being a great shooter.

    I haven't kept up with Tiago Splitter since he left San Antonio but wouldn't he be an ideal fit if he were to be bought out? Has his game fallen off that far?

    Exactly...and just in case Beverly isn't available for any stint in the playoffs and yea it wouldn't hurt to have a blood stopper in the paint

    Calderon to replace Bobby Brown for min is fine. Great injury insurance, and perhaps we convince him to sign for min next year if he likes the team.

    Just wouldn't want to get Calderon with our cap, while keeping Brown therefor taking up a roster space for a big / contributing player like Bogut or Casspi etc.

    Jose Manuel Calderon? Were Bob Sura, Steve Francis, Moochie Norris or Bobby Jackson not available?

    Calderon is a huge upgrade of B. Brown

    I wonder if Calderon has any interest in being the Rockets' fifth guard.

    Looks like Calderon's headed to the Dubs, who just released Briante Weber.

    BTW, I really like Weber as a defensive dynamo and he appears to have improved his shooting a bit. Might be worth a peek.

    Calderon wont play much here if at all. He is an injury insurance for Harden, Bev and Lou.

    Bogut still hasn't been released. What's the holdup?

    Bogut has the face of a mercenary. I think he'll take the money. ;):D
