Apparently "The In Crowd" for Keith Closs works just fine. I'd take that without a moment of hesitation. I was a bit bored myself and tried out that same trade machine.

Calderon is not that bad. You guys are way too harsh. Besides, if you want to trade him, you gotta trade him when he's at his best, not when he's in a funk. Come on guys. Calderon is not that bad.

The more we play him, the lower his value will be later. I was thinking we trade him for a 2nd round pick and a new spalding basketball. I really couldn't care less - I'd rather see Douby back up Jack. Completely agree with TheInCrowd, Jose still has some value if we trade him now.

They have income and revenue taxes at the Federal, State, County, and City level that are so confusing that it's unlikely anybody in the US with more than 1 permanent residence isn't at risk of getting into a tax dispute every time they file. And the county likely has some bizzaro tax rules designed to create revenue that no sane person could ever imagine existed. The US is not like Canada when it comes to taxation.

For instance, I just put this into the trade machine and it works: Jose Calderon for Jamal Tinsley and cash...Jose Calderon for Jeff Hornacek and a 3rd round pick...Jose Calderon for Alexander Radejovic and 10 shots of H1N1 vaccine...Jose Calderon for Derrick Martin, Derick McKey and Robert Pack. Another avenue we could explore is having Alvin Williams and The Prospector switch jobs. Or we could just usher Jose into the "Michael Curry - Bench Coach at Large" phase of his career.

If he'd pulled that call on the US side, he likely would have landed in jail for the night! Funny story about Oak at the Canadian border.
