So, the Raptors are winning lately with Jack as the starting Pg.
I think it is safe to say that Jack has been outplaying Jose and will keep that job for the rest of the season.
So what happens with Jose?
Will he be satisfied as the backup PG?
Will he be satisfied with it next year?
Traded at the deadline? Offseason?

What do you guys think will happen?

he shouldn’t be in a position to ask for a trade. If the team is winning, he should come off the bench and be a good teammate.

[R-Dot-13Participant]

I agree,
I think he is a great backup PG, but I never saw him as a great starter in the NBA.
I like where the Raptors are headed right now.

Jack should have been starting from the start of the season IMO.

[R-Dot-13Participant]

I agree with that thought.
Like I said, I never saw Calderon as a starter caliber PG.

i was thinking the same think the raptors are better with jarret in the starting poitn guard position he becomes he hard to keep out the paint and he’s a decent passer i dont think jose calderon minds coming off the bench if the team is winning if he do wont to get traded he isnt a good teammate he should enjoy the team success and hope they go to the playoffs

I like the toughness and gritt Jack brings to the Raps.
and i too think Jose should come off the bench, i doubt he is going to request a trade though.
As a Raptors fan, i like the energy Jose brings off the bench. Hes a solid backup PG.

I too love the play of both Jack and Calderon… Both of them have great talent but unlike when TJ Ford was with the Raptors, Jose and Jack really haven’t had any heated arguments about who starts… Coach Triano plays them both like starters, with Jack bringing intensity to the starting line up, and Jose bringing the poise and leadership to the Young guns line up on the bench…

Also with how Triano rotates players on and off, having both PG’s ready to play at a high level of competition day in day out… Both players bring leadership to the floor regardless of who starts…

As for Jose’s future… i do see BC looking into possible trade scenarios, but right now trading Jose would not result in anything but a step back in team chemistry… I can safely say that nothing will happen to Jose and the Raptors during the season!
