Jose Calderon made $415,000 for two-hour stint with Warriors

The point guard gets waived to make room for Matt Barnes, but not before getting a Warriors jersey and a check for a lot of money

MANILA, Philippines – The Jose Calderon era for the Golden State Warriors was over before it began.

A fat check and a jersey he’ll never use in a game is all the Spanish point guard has to remind him of his two-hour stint with the defending Western Conference champions.

Calderon, a 35-year-old veteran of 12 NBA seasons, was signed to a free agent contract worth $415,000, then was promptly waived to make room to sign Matt Barnes, who will help fill the gap for the injured Kevin Durant.

Calderon also got a sweet number 8 jersey for his troubles.


Calderon, who has a career average of 9.7 points and 6.3 assists per regular season game, was waived last month by the Los Angeles Lakers. So to lighten the mood, we leave you with a highlight reel of one of his two career triple-doubles in the NBA.
