Barring a complete personality makeover by Ford, which doesn't seem likely, nothing can change in Raptorland.

That is why a change in scenery for Calderon is best for all parties concerned.

People have been clamouring for a player such as Corey Maggette of the Los Angeles Clippers, an athletic wing who is capable of averaging 20 a night and attacking the rim.

The Clippers can use a point guard and Calderon's family probably wouldn't object to southern California's warm climate.

Note this is NOT a rumor it is just ramblings of an author. My question is what do you guys think about it/.

This would be one of those rare trades where it would help both teams. I'll do it.

Do it!!!! Just do something this off season for once! Package Maggette, Knight and possibly Thomas and send them all to Toronto. We could have signed Udrih last year but signed Knight instead....wtf were they thinking?
We should try to deal for Earl Watson or JJ Reddick + Evan.

i would love this trade....calderon is the most underrated player in the nba...shoots well, hardly turns the ball over, pass first point guard..

**qross1fan** · 05-16-2008, 11:21 PM

I'd do it in a second and since Minny is rumored to deal they 2nd...I'd give them ours, and we take one of Minnys seconds for a future 2nd

**Weasel** · 05-17-2008, 02:23 PM

Not sure if it is possible to a double sign and trade (for some reason I want to say no) but I would probably do it. Calderon would be great in a Clipper uniform and give all our options great assists.

If we dont get high in the draft, and thus cant get mayo or rose, then yes id pick him up, and just dump livingston or try to trade him.

Calderon with knight backing him up i think will be a not bad 1 - 2 combination.

**Weasel** · 05-17-2008, 07:07 PM

I think Knight has to be traded if Calderon is acquired, Clippers don't need another assist first pg as backup. They would probably need need a scorer to back Calderon up. But if they were both on the same team that would be the #1 and #2 league leaders in assist to TO ratio.

No one would ever trade for brevin knight IMO. I say keep him for the defensive spark off of the bench. We do need offensive minded PG's to be successful, but i think calderon's offense is under rated. Hes got nice range on his jump shot. Unlike brevin knight he can be counted on for one or two three pointers a night. Hes got more size than brevin. Also has some flare to him which i like...doenst show up in the standings, but i like "sexy basketball."

**Weasel** · 05-17-2008, 11:54 PM

I think it is possible he only makes 2 mil so not like he is overpaid or anything.

What does everyone think of TJ Ford? Either Ford or Calderon are not going to be in a Raptor uniform next season.

nauticazn25 · 05-18-2008, 03:07 PM

i'd rather have calderon than ford

**R-Star** · 05-18-2008, 03:13 PM

Calderon is worth more than Maggette.

Free Arsenal · 05-18-2008, 06:55 PM

I'd say it depends on the draft pick we get, if we get #1 we get Rose, #2, we trade down for Mayo... but what I'm concerned about in terms of Calderon is that he's European. Since when has a European ever played well for the Clippers?
