Anyone who doesn't think we should waive and stretch Calderon anymore?

You look to improve value as much as possible and trade when the opportunity presents. You can always cut and stretch him in the offseason.

You also currently have multiple guys on 10 day contracts who can be cut loose if roster space is needed and other opportunities present themselves.

Well yes thats what I mean--I dont care about this year--but he should not be on the roster netx year.

If we don't need his salary in the offseason (and there's a good chance we won't), then we may as well keep him until we need his salary. He's not a headache- he can't play anymore, but he's a good character guy. Off the bench he might not be as damaging- might even make a 3pt shot one day.

IF he can help Phil get Marc Gasol then why would he cut him.
