Report: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope expected to sign with Sixers
Liberty Ballers • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia 76ers are set to sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope pending a buyout from the Memphis Grizzlies, shortly after signing LeBron James.
- Caldwell-Pope, a former Lakers teammate of LeBron and a key contributor to the 2023 Denver Nuggets championship, is expected to provide veteran 3-and-D wing depth.
- After a disappointing season with the Orlando Magic and a stint with the Grizzlies, Caldwell-Pope’s buyout allows the Sixers to acquire a seasoned player at a low cost.
- The Sixers will need to waive multiple non-guaranteed contracts, including those of Jabari Walker and Dalen Terry, to create roster space and stay under the salary cap apron.
- Adding veterans like Caldwell-Pope on minimum deals reflects the Sixers’ strategy to strengthen their bench and improve team depth following LeBron’s signing.
