Dallas, TX (Sports Network) – Point guard Jose Calderon has agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
“This is a great day! New challenge! Joining the family of the dallasmavs! I’m really happy! Can’t wait to start the season!,” Calderon said via Twitter Friday night.<\/p>\n
The deal is reportedly for four years and worth $29 million.<\/p>\n

Calderon started last season playing for the Toronto Raptors, but as part of a three-team deal ended up in Detroit. He averaged 11.3 points and 7.1 assists over 73 contests.<\/p>\n
For his career, which started in 2005 with the Raptors, Calderon has averaged 10.1 points and 7.2 assists in 553 contests.<\/p>\n
Calderon should help the Mavericks in their long-range shooting. He is an overall 39.9 percent shooter from beyond the arc. Last season, he shot 46.1 percent from 3-point range, which was the best mark in the NBA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
