No, they haven't done something similar at all. Back then Calderon wasn't getting paid like he is now, and wasn't an established starting PG.
Telling me that they started Ford over Calderon (TJ was getting paid more and was an established starter just like Calderon is now) is just another reason the Raptors would probably stay with Jose through any possible struggles.
He's not a better b-ball player until he starts playing better. You can't say someone's better now based on projection or distant past and not look at the present and recent past. Jose over Jack is also a subjective point of view. JJ provides better defense and lane penetration.
He is a better basketball player. Watch the games (and not the meaningless preseason ones). If it's really necessary to look at their stats, the same conclusion would be made.
If Jose continues to play into the season as he is doing now (defensive sieve, poor playmaking ability), he's definitely not a better play than JJ. My initial point was to wait and see how Jose does before making any judgement.
What is all of this based on? 20 minutes in a meaningless preseason game? Think about what you are saying.
That doesn't make sense, you contradicted yourself.
No, I didn't. Calderon is a better player than Jack. That's why he should start. And even if he wasn't a better player, he would still start anyway.
