By the way, we should not do this same mistake with Lowry. Make him our unquestionned starting point guard from the start. Give him the keys, just like we should have done with Jose about 5 years ago. If you want your team to win, players have to know their roles from the start. That's only my opinion though. Change roles only if someone is sucking (Bargs?) or overachieving as f*ck.

No announcement yet.
Do you think Calderon actually wants to resign in Toronto?

I think he'll re-sign if it's not BC making an offer. In other words if BC is fired or allowed to go at the end of his contract and the new GM makes an offer, he might consider it. If BC remains, makes an offer and Calderon accepts, he deserves all the praise in the World considering everything he's gone through.Attitude Is A Choice.

100% on Bargs. Put him at the end and play Acy. We'll win more games.

If he wants to stay in TO, offer him 3-4mil/year, and make him feel like he's an important piece moving forward.
Let Jose decide if he want's money first.
3 years, 18mil (7mil/6mil/5mil) is a bargain for the production and leadership youre getting.
For a consummate pro like jose, whos been there for this team through it all, MLSE should show the guy some loyalty for the shut they put him through over the years. In my mind, thats how u do business and its a precedent on how u run ur business for other players to see.
Id also do this:

Obviously, ATL would need to self destruct for us to even have a chance, but f*ck it, a guy can dream.
Reinvest the bargs/lowry money into jsmooth and we FINALLY HAVE A LEGIT SF IN THE COLANGELO ERA.
id do a 4 yr, last two yrs as player options for J SMOOTH:
12mil/13mil/15mil/17mil
Which i think is fair value for a guy who has no all stars on his resume, but is a solid defender and high flier with an improved jumper.
And look to draft a pg named MYCK KYBONGO!!!! The wiggins dream is a nice one but the way things r going so far this season, and how kybongos season has taken a hit..it just might be the match made in heaven webe been waiting for. who better to usher in and show kybongo the ropes?
2013-2014 roster
Calderon/kybongo/lucas
Derozan/ross
Smith/anderson/fields
Davis/kleiza/acy
Valenciunus/johnson/gray

3 coaches in 8 years is about normal (new coach every 2-3 years) for a professional sports team that is not a contender.

I think a deal sending calderon and derozan to the grizz for rudy gay would reap huge rewards for both teams. grizz would gain depth, firepower and the ball-handling they need to become truly elite. the raps would gain an allstar to build around and immediately he'd become the new and refreshing face of the franchise. espn trade machine approves the trade, wonder what hollinger would say?
LOL this had me laughing out loud....the fact that mike conley would own dribbles.....and trading gay who is having all-star type season makes no sense at all I understand your "homerisim" but like come on just think about it for a sec before you type this nonsense.....and DD isnt getting traded he has been the most consistent Raptor since pre-season.
And for all of you who think Dribbles is the epitome of a true pro ...two words for you "contract year" what has Dribbles done the last four years of his contract for the raps exactly?!...... 0.o

Presuming they can fit him under their cap, does anyone think Jose might entertain the possibility of playing with his old buddy, Chris Bosh, in Miami. It's got everything he'd be looking for: great team, great weather, and a large Spanish speaking population.
