I think it is too early to call in Larkin either way, it really could go either way for him, time will tell
As for Pablo, it would be best to buy him out, saving a roster spot for our future development
Just allow him to make the rest of this year's salary while NOT he forgoes his player option for 2015 would be ideal
He can then just sign a vet min deal if he wants to continue, if he needed, offer him a year of a BS role with a salary to stay in NYK like Stark's/LJ etc or even a SCOUT position in Europe/Spain etc if his family would prefer returning, whatever the case, it would be beneficial to both parties, rather than going through another 82 game season at his age and inabilities
While Calderon isn't a good defender by any means, his game NEVER relied on physical abilities like Nash/Stockton but is bigger, so unlike many PG's that are unable to contribute at a high level after passing 30+, I think he would will be able to stay at his level of play for the rest of his contract
His game relies on BB IQ, his ability to shoot, especially HIGH % 3ptr's, and ability to facilitate a team
To compliment Calderon, I think a SG, with the ability to penetrate, defend/facilitate/hit 3pter's would be great
A player like Lance Stephenson would be ideal
However, if not, getting a player that can do a couple of these things and NOT ALL, would still FIT
