Calderon May Join Gasol on the Lakers?
The Toronto Raptors are quietly getting unexpected moral support from the Los Angeles Lakers in their quest to sign Steve Nash.
Reason being: Sources say the Lakers — as long as they retain Pau Gasol — have an inside track to sign point guard Jose Calderon if the Raptors, as expected, must amnesty Calderon’s contract to create the needed salary-cap space to sign Nash.
And as long as Calderon, in that scenario, manages to go unclaimed by teams under the salary cap that, as per league rules, are given first crack at signing players released through the amnesty clause.
