The Lakers are exploring their buyout options with veteran guard Jose Calderon, Marc Stein of ESPN says. Both the Warriors and Rockets would emerge as the most likely suitors, he adds in a separate tweet.
In 24 games this season, Calderon has played sparingly, averaging just 3.3 points and 2.1 assists per game. Just last season the guard played a prominent role with the Knicks and the 35-year-old guard would be a cheap source of leadership and productivity off the bench for a team with eyes on the NBA title.
Calderon is in the last year of a four-year contract, owed $7.7MM in 2016/17.
This would be good for both parties and give the Lakers a chance to get a look at Tyler Ennis for the last 20 games of the year
Tyler Ennis is finished he’s been on 4 teams in like 2-3 years.
Idk players tend to do pretty well with the lakers.shannon brown did pretty well and earl Clark was pretty decent. So who knows what Ennis can do
Who knows what can happen under Luke, look at Nick Young this year!
Agree. Look at what the warriors did with Luke last year when Kerr was getting over back surgery. I don’t think it was an accident that the warriors won all those games with Luke. Kerr got COY but it was Ealtin that got them all those wins.
