If he is released we should be all over him. Even with his health issues Rafer and him would be an awesome PG tandem. Then we could deal B Jackson for a Player !!! Any thoughts???

I changed the title of the thread to be more accurate. There's absolutely no mention in the article of TJ Ford being released.
Given the fact that Toronto owes him almost $26 million over the next three years, I would say his release would be a virtual impossibility.
It does appear that Toronto will be looking to re-sign Calderon and likely make him their starter at the 1. Therefore, it's reasonable to think that Toronto will be listening to trade offers, but, again, I found it extremely unlikely that they'd out-and-out release him.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

I think we should try and deal Jackson and Head for him, it would work out perfectly. Ford would be the ideal PG that we've been looking for. Hes just a consistent Rafer, that is VERY quick, and can play terrific D.

TJ Ford has a history of very serious injuries, he's very small making him a defensive liability, and his 3 pt shooting is worse than any of our current PGs. I'm a longhorn, but I think we should see how Brooks develops before jumping the gun on TJ.
Calderon, on the other hand, is a different story...

Living in Toronto and having watched heaps of Raptors games this season, I can tell you that I don't want a single piece of this guy.
First he has huge attitude and ego issues. if things don't go his way, he'll start sulking until he gets his way.
His game is very erratic. He often plays out of control, doesn't know where to go with the ball and dominates the ball a lot. He disrupts ball movement with his ballhogging and is a really bad finisher around the rim. He often forces bad shots.
He is pretty talented in the regard that he can break down any defender off the dribble and find the open man. His midrange jumpshot is fairly decent and he can make big shots.
Too bad he is not able to use his tools in the proper way.
If Rafer makes you crazy for being out of control, you'll get lots of grey hair with TJ on this team.
My verdict: No to TJ, there is a reason the raps want to ship him.
In 2-3 years, I can see Brooks being as good as TJ is now, without all the ego and attitude problems.

While I wouldn't be against getting him, we kind of already have a mini-TJ in Brooks. Seems kind of pointless in the grand scheme of things.
