It was reported yesterday that veteran guard Jose Calderon would seek a buyout of his expiring contract from the Los Angeles Lakers, which would allow him to sign on with a contending team. Now we know where he will likely land.
Fresh off the news that Dallas Mavericks guard Deron Williams will sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers after securing his own buyout, it appears that Calderon will take part in the arms race and sign with the Golden State Warriors. Marc Stein reported the news for ESPN.com:
The Golden State Warriors have emerged as the strong favorite to sign veteran guard Jose Calderon once he completes his expected buyout with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to league sources.
