That's always the narrative right up until the player gets dealt. People were saying the same thing about JR just last season.

not even a comparison. We had to include shumpert to move jr smith. Secondly jr smith is at least better and cheaper than calderon

Then what about the NYK version of Zach Randolph? What about Jamal Crawford? What about Steve Francis? What about Jerome James? What about Raymond Felton? You get where I'm going with this? The overarching point is that when there is a will, there is a way.

Depends. There is always a team out there thinking they can save a player. And we've got some spare assets that could grease the wheels.

Pillage other teams? But, but, but, he had the best assist to turnover ratio 2 years ago....and his TS% and....
what does his TS 2 years ago have to do with how he is playing now? Are we trading him 2 years ago???
I'm mocking you because you were singing his praises and ridiculing anyone who didn't blindly base their opinion of him on those stats.
do I blindly base my opinions on stats? Get back to your retarded trade ideas
I will take the efficient calderon not this one.
He's the same dude. We just took the ball out of his hands/de-emphasized him as a playmaker. Either way, continue to troll on.
he is not the same dude but carry on with your ideas. Who is the mark today? Is it utah? They are one of the stupid teams.
You don't think your time would be better spent combing through and bumping years worth of my postings instead? Seems to kind of be your thing and we all know you've got the time.

We need to move him to a team on the cusp of making the playoffs with a very young guard core that he can mentor while he plays into shape!
Oh shyt, that's us!!!!
If he plays better, why trade him? If is down with mentoring the yoots, he is of value. If a playoff contending team loses its primary back up and he is playing well and they want to parlay that into a late or defferd LATE first round pick then its an offer we can't refuse.

the only way we get rid of him is giving that team our late first rounder

why would we do such a thing. Its not like he is killing our cap. Im assuming his play improves. Shocking as this may should, it could happen.

Don't even think of trading Early. He is the one guy last night that could have shut down Korver but he never got the chance. By the end of this season you will be crowing about him. What other guy do we have with the length and agility to shut down sharpshooting forwards?
