Pulling a point off a loser.

Calderon for Wes and Mr Cupcake?

Is this a homer trade? To me it almost seems possible. But, Im way too much of a homer to be objective. Calderon doesn't play any D, but we don't need it. He can hit the open shot and he averages 8 assists. Toronto gets Mathews and can gamble on Felton. If Felton flops like he did in Portland they don't have to resign him. They aren't going anywhere this year anyway.

Worst trade ever.

What worth do you see in José?

Worst ever? I thought that was the Gasol trade.

Last 3 games Jose has had 15 assists, 14 assists and 6 assists/30 points against Milwaukee, Boston and LA respectively. That’s with Toronto and the worst Shooting Guard in the league.

I don't know but this is pretty bad.

no thanks

Wes might be sucking bad on offense right now, but his D still makes him worthwhile. And I still have faith that Felton will get better as the season goes on (fingers crossed).

you probably don't need to give up Wes to get Calderon

this is giving up too much

Toronto or any other rebuilding team won’t trade for Wesley’s long-term contract.

i keep dancing on my own.

You're right...

Calderon doesn’t play any D…

…But you’re wrong about us not needing it.

Our perimeter defense breaks down far too often already leaving our bigs to switch out of position opening up a ton of dunks and offense rebounds for our opposition.

I’ve heard Calderon’s name thrown around a few times and, so far, I haven’t liked any of them.

#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
