Lakers' Jose Calderon: Expected to join Warriors

Calderon is in the process of negotiating a buyout of his contract with the Lakers, and he's expected to take a physical and sign with the Warriors, Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

The veteran point guard isn't a part of the Lakers rotation and with the rebuilding team eager to evaluate younger options in the backcourt over the final month-plus of the season, Calderon is an expendable piece. The 36-year-old now appears poised to chase his first NBA title by joining the Warriors, though he'll likely find himself similarly low on the depth chart with his new team as the third-string point guard behind Stephen Curry and backup Shaun Livingston.
