Jose Calderon thinks he can have a better season in year 2 with the Knicks

Jose Calderon was hampered by injuries throughout his first season as a Knick but is feeling optimistic for Year 2 in New York.

“I just want to be myself, just be healthy and play basketball. I think being healthy can change everything,” Calderon said in an interview on Sirius XM NBA Radio Wednesday. “I think last year with all the different [lineups], injuries, myself included, I couldn’t get into a rhythm.”

Knicks' president Phil Jackson and the Knicks' front office listened to trade offers for Calderon last season but nothing materialized.

Calderon said on Wednesday that he is confident he will be with the team to start the season.
