    It's a little odd that Detroit is starting to stockpile PGs like their GM is taking tips from Kahn, but I think Calderon is more of an expiring contract they plan on having walk than a long term guy for them... maybe someone we look at with our cap room, terrible defensively, but he sets guys up and the D has to respect his shot.

    I'm not sure as to what the pistons are trying to do? For the last couple of years now they have been stock piling guys at the same positions.

    It's a salary dump for Detoit. Well done!! They move forward with Drummond, Monroe, Knight, and Singler. Shedding Prince, Maggette, Daye and Bynum ($22M) at seasons end.

    Will Bynum too, and with Calderon there'll be a lack of minutes for 1 of the 3.

    Agreed on Stuckey though, he's a 2 with a little extra playmaking.

    Had he done this one first, he wouldn't have needed to trade away a first and pieces for cap space in the other. That deal was terrible.

    If you take them in the order he did them then yes. However if he moved Gay first then did the CLE deal then I would have gave him a minus for that one. If he dealt Gay first he wouldn't have needed to give up some valuable bench pieces in the CLE shedding. IMO is better to have Speights and Ellington and just kept Calderon for the expiring money at the end of the year.

    ARG! RR7 beat me to it but I expanded on it.

    my take as well, he gave up a few decent bench guys and a #1 for cap relief....that he didnt need apparently

    Toronto now has the contracts of Gay, Derozen, Fields, and Bargnani. Did BC read the details of the new CBA?

    Don't forget Alan Anderson who's played real well this year, too.

    Good thing we signed Landry Fields to a $20-million contract. He's great at watching minimum salary Alan Anderson play in crunch time. Now he'll get to watch Rudy Gay and Alan Anderson play basketball.

    Def looks like BC. Long shoes and stiff collar. That's Toronto sports reporter Rod Black and his camera man looking to get a word from him.

    Supposedly Davis was devastated. Ripped his shirt off when he came out of the office and back to the dressing room, put a towel over his face and wept.

    Should add that Calderon was also upset. Never been traded, spent his whole career in Toronto. At least he doesn't have to go far (or even move his family if he doesn't want to).

    I'm so jealous of this deal. Calderon would have been a perfect back-up guard for us. I would have took Alan or Calderon.

    Mags, how would you feel about going after Jarrett Jack as a free agent capable of playing as a back-up 1/2?
