Currently, Jose Calderon is playing with the Spanish team in the Olympics, but NBA.com took some time to speak with the 34-year-old after the team's loss on Tuesday against Brazil.

The Olympic games were discussed, and Calderon talked about his health, as he contused his right quad on March 30th against a former team, the Dallas Mavericks.

100 percent [healthy]. I’m ready to help when my name is called and ready, as well, for next season with the Lakers. I think it’s going to be an exciting one and I’m happy to be there as well.

We don't know how much time Jose Calderon will get on the Lakers, with a logjam starting to form, as D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and Lou Williams are all guaranteed some sort of playing time.

Being the level-headed veteran that he is, the Spanish point guard will still look to have a positive impact on the Lakers, especially on the development of those younger guards on the roster.

Jose Calderon went undrafted in 2003, but signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2005. He played eight seasons with the Raptors where he led the league in free throw percentage in 2009 with a 98%. He was sent to Detroit in the Rudy Gay trade, and finished the 2013 season there. He then signed a four-year, $28 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, but was traded after one season to the New York Knicks for Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton.

Funny enough, Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans were supposed to be traded to the Charlotte Bobcats for Tyson Chandler and Boris Diaw, but Michael Jordan nixed the trade at the last moment. After two seasons with the Knicks, he was sent to the Chicago Bulls in the Derrick Rose trade, but was later traded in a cap dump to the Los Angeles Lakers.
