Anyone who doesn't love Jose is a damn fool!

http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/350985

....
After watching Ford struggle to find his way in a backup role, Calderon
suggested - and coach Sam Mitchell agreed - that the move be made to
kick-start Ford and, hopefully, the team as a whole.

Ford hasn't started a game since Dec. 12, a night when he suffered serious
back and neck injuries after being clubbed to the floor by Atlanta's Al
Horford.

The 25-year-old missed Toronto's next 24 games and also missed a couple of
games with a strained abdominal muscle.

His play of late has been spotty, as he's found it difficult to adapt to a
backup role. He's been dominating the ball on offence, trying to force
himself on the game instead of simply running the offence.

Calderon, a restricted free agent at the end of the season, met with
Mitchell and president Bryan Colangelo on Tuesday to discuss the switch. He
sees the same things the coaches, teammates and fans do - that Ford is
uncomfortable with the second unit and the team's play in deteriorating.

....

Also, Rasho is back in the starting lineup. He's obviously earned it.
Now if only Sam can pull his head out of his ass and give Rasho starter's
minutes as well...

OK

Jorge Garbajosa's the best team player of all, for "letting" everyone
else play instead of him. What a class act..
