What are the chances of Ben Uzoh getting a contract this year, his jump shot needs work, but he has proved to be an effective player for the Raptors.

ESPN's Mark Stein is reporting that representatives for Jose Calderon have informed the Raptors that Calderon welcomes their attempts to trade him, according to sources close to the situation. Where could Calderon end up? Well, the Dallas Mavericks were probably an option before they acquired Darren Collison. It will be interesting to see how this thing plays out given the assumption that Jerryd Bayless was allowed to walk because Calderon would back up Kyle Lowry.

Bayless has moved on to Memphis according to ESPN

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Gray was re-signed to a 2 year deal. Financial details were not disclosed.

You know, if you guys cared that much.

The trade is not yet done, but there's a lot of talk about the Rockets sending Kyle Lowry to the Raptors for a protected future first round pick. I thought that it would be unlikely that the Rockets would part with Lowry until they secured another PG of their own, but if this report holds water, the Raptors may have been able to upgrade their PG/backup PG spot. -- Edit -- Gary Forbes seems to have been traded over to Houston as part of the deal

As if things couldn't get tighter for the Raptors, they now see Goran Dragic nailed down by the Phoenix Suns to a verbal agreement for a 4 year deal worth $34 Million. This may severely limit the Raptors in talks to get Kyle Lowry from the Rockets unless the rumours surrounding Houston come to fruition and they end up signing Jeremy Lin. The Suns also reached an agreement with Michael Beasley last night.

After all the Knicks talk, ESPN's Mark Stein is reporting that Steve Nash is heading to the Lakers. It's a three-year deal that nets him considerably less than what the Raptors were willing to pay. But he gets to stay close to his three children in Phoenix. Despite spurning the Raps, Nash remains our greatest basketball export. Please don't boo the man for doing right by himself and his family. I'll step off my soapbox now...

A 3 year deal worth $20 Million with a spike in the 3rd year. ESPN reports that Landry Fields has reached a verbal agreement to an offer sheet. The Knicks will have 3 days after the deal is signed on July 11th to match the deal since Fields is a Restricted Free Agent.
