Being the new Team Canada GM (weird that it's a player, but that's a discussion for a different thread), I think he's probably more open to signing with the Raps now. He's shunned Canada for a few years now, to showboat at soccer games and other events, so perhaps now that he's seemingly running the show, he'll drive it home further by signing with the Raps. I guess he'd do it primarily for the same reason he took the Team Canada GM spot - to set himself up for life after playing - perhaps management? Personally, I still think he has enough game to give him a 4 year contract. Let's face it, Calderon will never have a higher value. Now is the time to deal him, or they'll never get fair value. Bayless IMO, stinks (said it from the start), so they may as well let him walk and get a solid vet backup PG. Perhaps packaging Calderon, Derozan, the presumably 8th overall can get the 1st, but that maybe a stretch. Having a star distributor is something the Raps have to splurge on, and Nash would be the one to do it for. Getting a high draft pick would be huge as well to build for now. Though a really boring year overall in the NBA, I'm hoping Colangelo works his magic this summer.
