  • Bulls Trade Jose Calderon To Lakers

    Jose Calderon Reportedly Traded to Lakers: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction | Bleacher Report

    At least we got 2 future second round picks out of this. Expiring contract and he cant be any worse than Marcelo Huertas.

    The Chicago Bulls traded Jose Calderon to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, sources told The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    The Lakers will take on the veteran's $7.7 million in their salary cap for next season, according to Mike Bresnahan of the TWC SportsNet. Bresnahan added additional details of the trade: "Lakers will get two future 2nd-round picks from Chicago while giving up rights to an undetermined player (someone likely drafted long ago.)"

    Calderon is projected to make $7.7 million, per Spotrac, which freed up enough space for the Bulls to surpass the two-year, $40 million offer the Miami Heat offered Wade to stay, per ESPN.com.

    The 34-year-old Calderon is coming off a two-year stint in New York, where he played some of the worst basketball of his career.

    The Lakers were able to take advantage of the Bulls' desperation to unload Calderon as they acquired a veteran player who can not only offer another option behind D'Angelo Russell, but can also help tutor the young guard as he enters his second year in the NBA.
