and jack has been here less than calderon and has already been better, people want jack because we won games when jack was starting, then caldeorn came in and we stunk.
jack fits better with the rout were going, if we are going run n' gun you can't do that because jose isn't agressive with the ball and he holds onto it too long to do that. jack is more agressive and gets the ball out of his hands quicker.
plus, people are also saying it's time to turn over a new leaf, everyone from the 2006 division winning team is gone except jose, so jose needs to go to complete that circle.
jose is not a good fit in the starting lineup, he fairs better off the bench, but he's a starting caliber point guard and can fair better in another system. so, you trade him for many more reasons than i just posted.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

Maybe they'd take one of our PG's? I know Colangelo wants to unload Jose, but if a deal of Tayshaun Prince for Jarrett Jack and Reggie was offered ... looks pretty good for next season.Buddahfan wrote: View PostT-Mac can't be traded until Dec 15th.

Calderon vs. Jack? On the offensive end they are quite different in their tendencies. Calderon is the better playmaker (runs the offense better) and supposedly better shooter (though that didn't show last season), But Jack is the more aggressive attacker to the hoop. Jack's size and strength allows him to bully through most PGs and take the contact from the help.
On the defensive end...not so much difference. They both don't fight over screens and rely on help too much. Both aren't quick enough to stay in front of most PGs.
Neither are very good passers. Meaning they both can't "thread the needle" with their passes. They can find open guys and get it to them no problem (Jose a tad better than Jack), but a pass through a defender or two, specially on pick and roll situations (a la Utah Jazz), they can't or don't do it with consistency. For example, during PnR situations, Jose usually passes over the defenders and not bounces the ball through them like Nash/Paul/Deron/etc. Jose and Jack are good, but not THAT good.
Bottom line is Marz was right when he said choosing a starting PG should depend on what the offense asks for, since they are both just bad on D. If we need someone to run the offense and get other guys going then Jose is the guy. But if you need someone aggressive to take it to the hole on the PnR who can also pass and shoot, then Jack is a better choice.
IMO Jack was a better fit starting last season with Hedo able to run the offense. But this time we need Jose. Of course we need someone better (esp. defensively) than both of those guys but that's another story.

I'm also not sure why people still believe Jose is this passive passer. The only time this happened was under Sam Mitchell when he would bark out plays and Jose would have to execute. Last season under Triano and that "100 shats!" season, Jose was a much more push-the-offense kind of guy.
What I'm having trouble understanding is why Jose is a "bad fit" in the starting lineup. People keep throwing that phrase around hoping it will stick, but provide no reason as to why. If Jose isn't a starting caliber PG, then neither is Jack. So how does Jack better fit the starters? Please explain. And please don't point to off-court chemistry. I could care less that Jack plays X-box with DeRozan on the weekends. I care about what they do on the court.
From what I can see, a PG that gets you the ball at the right spot/time is great for developing the young gunz, and I think we're all in agreement that that is exactly what Jose does.Last edited by Marz; Tue Aug 10, 2010, 01:12 PM.

He's willing to take contact, look at how many charges he took last year. On offense, Jack fits in better too. I would rather have a starting pg who drives and creates for other guys, an aggressor, rather then a guy who is simply a passer/shooter. A starting lineup of: Jack-Weems-Deroz-Kleiza-Bargs is easliest the most underated starting lineup in the league because I think that D-Rex and Weems are going to be the biggest surprises of the offseason. I really like the combo of Kleiza/Bargs as well. When you look at the second string: Jose-Bosa-Belli-Amir-Anderson the Raps actually stand pretty solid as a whole, and are allot deeper then many teams. ESPN has us ranked as last in the East, so be it. It just gives these young guys who have valleys of motivation even more drive, awesome!
In what world is Kleiza the starting PF, and Bellinelli the Backup SF? Where is Ed Davis?

Career Shooting Comparison - Calderon on left and Jack on right
TS%----.584---.564
eFG%---.543---.500
Statistically Calderon's career numbers rank him 2nd in passing when compared to CP3, Nash, Rondo and Jack. Jacks ranks 5th or last among the group of five.
For passing comparison among Calderon, Nash, CP3, Rondo and Jack see link below
http://raptorsrepublic.com/forums/sh...ing-Pespective
EFG%
Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).
TS%
True Shooting Percentage; the formula is PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.44 * FTA)). True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.

This may be overstated a bit, but I feel like I don't exactly know what Jose Calderon would be like on an NBA team without Bosh ... yes, he seemed to be more of the slow half-court type of PG, but that's exactly the kind of team they built around their all-star CB4 ...
Sure, we've seen him play at times when Bosh would be injured, but to truly see him in an offense where the schemes weren't built around dumping it into the post for Bosh ... maybe he could perform well in a run 'n' gun game? His passing is great, his shooting is awesome ... He is very careful with the ball, so it remains to be seen how he would play in the up-tempo game - and maybe we'll never get to see it with Jose in Toronto.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

For example last season according to 82games.com, link below, only 48% of Bosh's field goals were assisted which was a lot lower than Bargnani at 65% and Johnson at 67%
