I actually like the Calderon pickup for the Lakers.
They needed a backup PG and the market probably demands a multi-year deal in FA. The Lakers get an expiring deal that's about market in terms of AAV for a guy with the range that Calderon has. They get themselves up past the spending floor without jeopardizing any cap space for next season and in the process they got a couple of second round picks for their trouble.
Nice little deal. The NBA has essentially become Golden State, Cleveland and the NBDL at this point so it's not like there are any homerun signings to be made at the moment. This could pay some long-term dividends for them if either of those picks turn into even rotational players for them (and huge dividends if you end up with another Clarkson or Beverley).
