Not sure if many of you noticed a side effect of Kevin Durant being injured while playing the Wizards a couple weeks ago. As part of that injury, Golden State felt like they had to sign Matt Barnes to help fill the void, meaning they had to make a cut elsewhere. That cut turned out to be recently signed point guard Jose Calderon, who had been with the Lakers. Well it didn't take Calderon long to find a new home with the Hawks on the 4th of March. It took Calderon a couple games to get into the swing of things but Delaney now has two straight DNPs - Coach's Decision, while Calderon had double digit scoring as a key factor in the Hawks latest win. Seems like a tough break for Malcolm but unfortunately he hasn't been able to find his shot most of the season, shooting 38% from the field and 24% from behind the arc. Tough blow but hopefully Malcolm finds his way through and gets back on the court.

Man thats a bummer. I'm not an NBA fan, but I check the Hawk's box scores every few weeks to keep an eye on Malcolm. Hopefully he puts it together.
He's getting paid either way!
He took about a $3-4 million pay cut to come back to the NBA, so it's tough to see it going this way.
