Toronto Raptors' Best Option to Trade Jose Calderon, Not TJ Ford?

There is a sense of urgency for the Toronto Raptors. With a lot to think about this off season, one big question that hasn't been answered comes to mind. TJ or Jose?

 I know there has been a lot of talk about this, but a bunch of teams are inquiring about the status of Jose Calderon.

The Raptors would likely want to get rid of TJ Ford and his 8 million dollar contract, but they probably wont get what they want for him. That's why i and many others think they should trade Jose and possibly get that 20+ point scorer that they desperately need.

A little under a month ago TJ Ford stated he wanted to be the starting point guard of the Toronto raptors, because at this point of his career that's where he think's he should be. Now nothings wrong with this, because that's usually the attitude of the injury prone point guard. But what scares me is that Jose (usually the silent type that consistently states he doesn't care who starts, he just wants to win,) comes out and says on his personal website that he wants to start and will not be joining the raptors if he doesn't. Now this is weird considering that about a week or so before he didn't care.

 Anyways the raptors need to address this issue and i say their best bet is to trade Jose Calderon and try and land someone like Jamaal Crawford, Corey Maggette, or even send a package over to try and swipe former defensive player of the year Marcus Camby.

But whatever they do, im sure it's the smart thing considering Bryan Colangelo is running things.
