TrueHoop passes on word from Jose Calderon's official website that the Spanish point guard will stick with the Raptors after reaching a contract agreement last night. No numbers yet, though given the quick resolution $50 million for six years would be the baseline.Calderon could have been -- should have been -- an All-Star last season. He isn't Steve Nash or even Baron Davis. He's almost an elite roleplayer at the point; he helps his teammates get better looks and he makes absolutely no mistakes. There's no starting point guard in the league better at protecting the ball, a fact bolstered by how many darn assists Calderon deals. Limiting turnovers is a hugely underrated skill among point guards, which serves to dampen Calderon's notoriety.
He's also a good shooter -- 50% on the career -- who has learned when to take the three instead of driving the lane. He's said to be a good locker-room guy, he fits the style Sam Mitchell runs as well as the personnel, and he's popular with the fans. Win, win, win for Toronto and Calderon.
