Knicks · Insane Jose Calderon Signs With Mavs 4yrs/$30mil (page 1)

3G4G @ 7/5/2013 11:00 PM

I started this thread because I believe my eyes are deceiving me. Is that what this says?

$7.25m per year?

it's not really wild,

he's a really solid point guard, a franchise point guard,

at only 32 years old now, and with point guards playing into their late 30s, he has a lot of game left and will lead the mavs to a lot of wins.

Wow that is nuts.. He's not worth that kind of money. I bet they wish they kept Collison now.. I mean they lost Collison and OJ Mayo. Probably Brand too and who else? See that's the risk -- you clear out all this cap room, then don't land the big fish. GS too -- they clear out $20m in cap room today last min. in the hopes of landing D-12, now have to settle on Iggy..

same roster this year, same dirk injury, mavs are in the playoffs if they had calderon
IronWillGiroud @ 7/5/2013 11:11 PM
it might be a lot of money but no one can deny that mavs will get a ton of value for $7.25m per year, barely above the MLE!
IronWillGiroud @ 7/5/2013 11:13 PM
maybe 3g4g thought that it was a steal at $29m??
IronWillGiroud @ 7/5/2013 11:13 PM
this is actually a steal for the mavs, you're right, man
3G4G @ 7/5/2013 11:17 PM
This is not a steal? He's making more guaranteed money at the age of 32...than


J.R. Rmith

O.J. Mayo

Kevin Martin

Goran Dragic

Thats very very high. Id much rather have Felton at half the price. Why waste the cash flow on Calderon at his age?

Yeah... The Mavs wanted Deron/Dwight struck out and you pay Calderon all that money...come on there is no valid explanation for this.

Blob man has a point - it's about league average isn't it?

EDIT: Appears I was mistaken and GS knew D-12 was no longer a possibility and targeted Iggy all along, clearing all the cap room to make him an offer. My bad.

The list is growing Calderon makes more guaranteed money than Milsap who just signed with the Hawks 2yrs $19mil

Damn lol what a desperation attempt. He's a solid offensive player but wow

it's great value at $7.25,

his career stats are impressive:

10 points 7 dimes on 48%/88%/40%

1 steal per game and only 1.7 turnovers per game,

will do good things with mavs, cuban will build that team with talent

Let the Mavs serve as a cautionary tale for all those who think clearing cap space automatically leads to great things!

You didn't realize that from watching the 2011 to present Knicks?
