Why would anyone want Jose Calderon? He has a huge, endless contract. He has serious weaknesses as a player.
Why would anyone, for that matter, want most of the players not named Bosh on this roster? Most of them have Calderon-like contracts. Amir Johnson and DDR are the only players that have any promise. The Raps must have one of the worst rosters in terms of untradeable contracts and overpaid, unproductive players (Bargnani, Turkoglu, Calderon, Banks, Belinelli, Evans, so on).
The Raps may have to force Bosh out in order to get rid of some of the cruft at the same time.

It's evident that Jack is a much more talented player than Jose and he's crafty with creating exciting plays. That's in line with what the Raptors are trying to build apparently (according to Triano and BC they want to build an 'exciting brand of basketball')... having said that, keeping a European theme is obviously an important factor for Colangelo and Gherardini (they have admitted to it), so keeping Jose due to his connection with Europe may be the deciding factor.

Every decision is not a basketball decision and this might be one of them.
Personally I wouldn't mind keeping Jose at the expense of losing Jack as long as we're not expecting him to be a starter. He's an excellent player in a back-up role.

Jose & Hedo is a bad lineup. Jose needs ball in his hands to be effecitive but so does Hedo. Since Hedo will be harder to trade, Jose will be the trade peace. As far as who we should get in return, we need a PG (Spot up shooter Steve Blake would be nice), or SG/SF ( a defensive one), C (someone like Joel Przybilla or Marcus Camby, shot blocker and rebounder). We can use draft to fill one of those positions, but Jose go to go.

I think we trade hedo and keep the two "decent" pgs ..... whats wrong with having depth at the pg spot where last year we lack in result horrible season
Trade Hedo for a defensive SG/SF (with little offensive game) *cough* Battie *cough*

Bosh even offered a short shopping list.

"Should win the lottery" lol. I like em both but they don't both work for this team. Going forward I'd prefer to keep Jack so maybe the whole Hedo thing will work out a little better.

I think that the Raptors should win the lottery draft Wall, dump both Jose and Jack and trade for Stuckey.

I think Jose is a really nice kid but his game does not fit with Hedo. That being said, I think Jack will be traded.

Colangelo Will Trade Either Jack or Calderon
Just caught this from Feschuk article this morning.
I think its safe to say this summer will likely go does as the most active one in Raptors history. Apart of me is sad, but yet somehow excited to see what changes will occur.
One thing we know according to BC, is that there won't be a Jack and Jose duo next season.
Even if he can, will it be enough? Colangelo has some chips to trade. He’s got a lottery pick and two point guards, Jarrett Jack and Jose Calderon, one of whom he has intimated he will move. He’s also got the expiring contracts of Reggie Evans and Marcus Banks. So a draft-day deal built to impress Bosh wouldn’t surprise. Bosh even offered a short shopping list.
