If you were forced to have 1 of these 2 PGs as your starter, who do you pick & why?

[ziggy]

Yes, its a nightmare scenario.

But for the sake of discussion, if you were forced at knifepoint to choose one of these 2 as your starter next season, Who do you pick?

[DY_nasty]

TJ Ford has almost regressed since his first couple of years in the league...

The only thing people can question about Calderon (other than his contract) is his defense - and even then its hard to really attack him for his defense because he's been playing hurt on and off for the last two seasons for a franchise with no concept of team defense. And even with Calderon's injury problems, he doesn't run the risk of having his spine implode like TJ.

[Plowright]

Calderon has very low TO in games which was one problem last season we had so that would contribute. Calderon has a great eye for a pass and has been playing constant ball where as TJ Ford hasnt played in a year or so, who knows what state he could be in. Calderon is a better 3 shooter


However i think we could get TJ for less

[SWedd523]

TJ fairly easily.


1) Caleron is already injured, and the season hasn't even started yet
2) Caleron has 3 years at $27mil before his trade kicker, so his incoming salary is even higher
3) TJ is expiring
4) Did I mention that we'd be on the hook for 3 years and $30mil for Caleron?

don't forget that horrendous contract.

And his D does suck that badly. Even all the Raptors' homers on RGM admit that his suckage on the other side of the ball surpasses most all other PGs. He has no lateral quickness and on top of that he half asses it. He folds on the screen almost every time. He also can't stay healthy.

It is TJ fairly easily.

This is like choosing between 2 different kinds of STDs...only you can get rid of 1 after a season.

That's easy

I'd pick Presbyterian Hospital over CMC to stitch up the knife wound I received when I refused to accept either of those options. For two reasons, Presby is a Bobcats sponsor and CMC is an excessively profitible non-profit (getting gouged by the knife is bad enough).

[Black]

Ford for his contract.

[teej]

TJ for all the reasons Swedd listed.

Marc Stein seems to think there's no chance Jose comes here.

@STEIN_LINE_HQ Dampier does becomes eligible Monday to be packaged w/other Bobcats in trades. But I've been firmly told CHA and TOR not discussing Calderon 32 minutes ago<LI class=alt> @STEIN_LINE_HQ Getting tweets asking if there's any substance to internet rumbles about a Calderon-to-CHA deal involving Dampier's contract. In a word? NO 35 minutes ago

[Weezy21]

Thank you stein!

now we dont have to hear about calderon EVER aGAIN!
