Also, it doesn't even work in the trade machine.

This rumour is bs. Doesn't make sense at all for the raps, doesn't work under the cap and has already been shot down. I suspect one of the many dolts in either NY or LA media markets. Even fans know how the cap works and only a 15 y/o homer with a screen name like KB24>>>>>MJ23 would throw something like this out there.
Only thing I can think of is someone is trying to drive down the asking price by leaking ludicrously crappy offers out.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

I'd actually say the rumor is probably pretty close to true. I'm sure it doesn't work in trade machine now, and I'm sure we're not after 4 PG's, but LA has long wanted to get it's hands on Calderon, and vice-a-versa. He would love to be a Laker. I'd be happy for Jose too, I think he'd legit bring them closer to a ring, but with his health issues it's not like LA all of a sudden has a very healthy back court. Give me Ebanks and trade Amir, and I'd be a happy camper. Either way, it'll be very interesting to see what we hear next.i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.

Listen, you need to check your 'Raptor fan since day 1' attitude friend. We're all Raps fans here.
Calderon has been an absolute prince when it comes to his name being thrown in the trade talk, he never bitches or complains, it's admirable. Also, he's been a part of a predominantly losing team since his stay with the Raptors, at some point that has to wear on a player. So when he said he would love to be a part of Lakers, I can actually sympathize with the guy. He's never quit on our team, always plays hard, and how have rewarded that? Attempted trades, and at best a decent squad. Sure we've also given him good money, but there are a lot of players making good money and treating their team/fan base as if we're a thorn in their side (see Eric Gordon..unreal).
As for the trade, what can I say, I like Ebanks, I don't want 4 PG's and I think we've overpaid Amir and he's never been consistant (please don't try and convince me that this is the year).
Again, we're all Raptor fans here, we just see things differently. Cheers.i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.

The only difference is I couldn't care less about calderon's feelings, he isn't enough of a game changer/core piece moving forward. IMO he has more value to us expiring than bringing goddamn ebanks, who the hell is that again (just kidding)i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.

It's not been unheard of about agents trying to push the envelope by keeping his client's name in the news/float a trial balloon about players. This is just a more discreet but yet public way of asking that the pace be moved up to move their client. Jose's agent himself may have been behind the tweet...and then gets to deny it!
