No announcement yet.
I'm calling it now: sometime before the trade deadline, Jose's ending up in Dallas

Why stop there.. let's package Alan Anderson and Amir Johnson for Lebron James.

I don't think that's unreasonable, especially if we throw in our second rounder and the other team either a) can't afford the players contract (rudy gay) b) the other team is looking for cap flexibility, or c) is shitting the bed this season. This would also depend on how much the raptors brass like or dislike the play of Terrance Ross nearing the deadline.
Keep in mind we almost netted Chandler and Diaw for Calderon 2 seasons ago. I don't think its that far fetched.

I am hoping that there will be lots of teams who will be in the position described in the intial post and that the demand for a quality PG will be higher than the supply. I hope that Jose stays a Raptor for his career and we are able to resign him at the conclusion of the season. But I also know that if he can net us a solid piece in a position of need that that should be the priority. We will see.

It will be for 100% financial.

As for Rudy Gay -See what Atlanta got got Joe J. The price for an overpriced borderline all-star was set. Sure JJ makes more (annually than Gay), but JJ was a legit all-star (Gay, almost -big difference).
Jose, DD (and maybe Ed) -all 3 at least decent bench/rotation players, is a lot more than Hawks got for JJ.
As for Harden -another major difference (wrt Gay) -Even if he gets max deal -still a lot less than Gay or JJ & thus it would likely cost a bid more to acquire than Gay.

The Hard part is already done; he IS going to Dallas. Let them figure out to make it work. Geez.

Prior to the season, before Carter's options had been picked-up by Dallas and before Lucas, Anderson and McGuire had been signed by Toronto, I could have seen this as a viable option (ie: Carter & Dahantay Jones & Beaubois for Calderon). Carter could have been released, Jones would be 3rd string defensive-specialist wing (expiring) and Beaubois could have been backup PG (expiring).
However, unless a third team can be found to take on at least Carter's salary, I really don't see Dallas as a good fit as a trading partner for Calderon. They have nothing to offer Toronto, aside from expiring contracts - why not just keep Calderon in that case? What is Toronto actually gaining?

When there were reports of Dallas being interested in Calderon it was before their make-over. The way they have reconstructed their roster, with more athleticism on the perimeter because their bigs, weary old men (30, 33 and 34 years old not counting Wrigth who'll probably see limited minutes when all are healthy), can't cover for slowfooted old guards who can't keep up with the quick ones.
The only reason they'd be interested would be if Nowitzki's injury makes them give up on this season and they want more capspace in the summer. This would mean we'd have to take back Marion (which we don't want).
I'm calling it off.

Dallas has nothing to offer that equals to Calderon, not to mention anything we want, it completely out of range. Mayo is the only guy I can see we can get sorely by trading Calderon+asset+pick.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
