Ocho to Dallas

It's never been much a secret that Jose Calderon is my all-time favourite Raptor and that the Dallas Mavericks are my 2nd favourite team in the NBA. Last season, I finally had a chance to visit Dallas, see the Mavs in action vs the Philadelphis 76ers and tour the city. As you can imagine, I was rather pleased to see the following tweet pop up on my twitter timeline last night:

Agent Mark Bartlestein says guard Jose Calderon has agreed to a four-year deal with the Mavericks.

If not Toronto, then Dallas is the next best thing in my book. Thanks for the great 8 years, Jose, and all the best the rest of the way.
