Report: Calderon, Udrih Staying Put
By Josh Cohen on July 2, 2008 at 10:45 p.m. ET
It’s a global market and two of the best international point guards are here to stay for a while.
The Raptors will reportedly retain Jose Calderon, while the Kings will allegedly hang on to Beno Udrih. Contracts, of course, can not be signed until July 9.
Calderon, who averaged 11.2 points and 8.3 assists this past season for Toronto, flourished as the team’s chief starting point guard when T.J. Ford was out with a neck injury.
If the proposed deal that would send six-time All-Star Jermaine O’Neal to the Raptors gets completed, Toronto will be a very formidable club in the Eastern Conference.
Udrih, meanwhile, thrived as Sacramento’s starting point guard when Mike Bibby was traded to Atlanta in a blockbuster midseason deal. The Slovenian averaged 12.8 points and 4.3 assists in 2007-08.
