Knicks Rumors: Trail Blazers a potential trade suitor for Jose Calderon?

The New York Knicks aren't likely to be done when it comes to the deconstruction of their currrent roster, with veteran guard Jose Calderon perhaps the next piece that president Phil Jackson will dangle on the trade market.

The Knicks also might not be done. Several reports stated that the team is shopping Jose Calderon, who has underperformed since coming over from Dallas.

Calderon is under contract for two more years. The only other players under contract for the Knicks after this season are Carmelo Anthony, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Cleanthony Early.

One team that has been floated in several circles as a potential trade suitor for Calderon is the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland is looking for depth behind superstar Damian Lillard in the backcourt, but it's possible that the fact that his contract runs through 2015-16 could scare off the normally budget-conscious Blazers.

Regardless, they're one of a few different options that could at least consider Calderon when it gets down to crunch time before February's trade deadline.
