http://hoopshype.com/salaries/toronto.htm Jose Calderon will be a free agent this summer. We need him. This guy is amazingly efficient with the ball. Just look at his assist/TO ratio. He's also got super high basketball IQ. This is just what the rockets need. Toronto thinks they're gonna be able to resign him easily but we'll see.. http://nba.com/playerfile/jose_calderon
Wrong thread. And he's going to get PAID by the Raptors. He's there future PG for a long time to come.
There is no way we can get Calderon. He is easily one of the top 3 Pure PG's in the league. and those international guys seem to love Toronto, being it is an International City
i am in toronto.....and everyone really really wants to keep him... plus..he is a restricted free agent...so signing him won't be that easy....Toronto can always match the offer.
are you serious? or does my sarcasm detector need some maintenance? I hope it's the latter, but if not, here's a list you might want to consider thinking about: Steve Nash Tony Parker Jason Kidd Baron Davis Chauncy Billups Deron Williams Chris Paul Gilbert Arenas Allen Iverson Mike Bibby just to name a few... oh, btw, wrong forum..
There's only like...five pure PGs in your list. Nash, Billups, Paul, Kidd, Deron. The rest are just two-guard shorties nowadays. Since when has AI or Arenas ever been pure PGs? Calderon is easily the 6th best "pure" PG. Quality. Still pipe dream to get him...and since I still beleive in Arron Brooks, 10 APG...
I'm pretty sure Tj Ford is better than he is also. The "pure" point guard is overrated. Different guards are better in different systems and if you're telling me Baron Davis and Allen Iverson doesn't create shots for their teams then you're crazy. Just because they can score also doesn't make them any less of a point guard.
I got to agree on this one, there are few pure point guards in the league, however Calderon is not a pure point guard, he plays the 2 man game with the small forward.
the guy puts up great stats. but i don't think he's really a great fit for the rockets' half-court game. and he's a subpar defender and would get killed by the elite pgs of the west.
