Mutual interest between Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the Mavericks
League sources say that there would be mutual interest in free agency between Caldwell-Pope and the Dallas Mavericks … but Dallas could only get into Caldwell-Pope’s projected salary range via sign-and-trade. It is believed that the Nuggets do not want to participate in a sign-and-trade with an in-conference rival — Dallas just supplanted Denver as the NBA’s reigning Western Conference champion — even if that means losing Caldwell-Pope without compensation.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope declining his player option was always a lock to happen. If he leaves, free agent Eric Gordon is someone I could see the Nuggets pursuing. – 4:03 PM

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s value in free agency is expected to reach near $25 million annually.
The Sixers and Magic loom as serious contenders to offer Caldwell-Pope a short-term deal at a large salary.
KCP will soon decline his $15.4 million player option with the Nuggets. pic.twitter.com/htXvMGQzko – 1:18 PM

More on this storyline
Denver’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is emerging as one of the focal points of NBA free agency. A difference-maker, league sources say, who suddenly appears more likely than not to switch teams. The Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers, meanwhile, appear especially well-positioned to capitalize on Caldwell-Pope’s expected availability if they choose.
The Nuggets have been unable to come to terms on a contract extension with Caldwell-Pope, who is expected to decline his $15.4 million player option for next season to become a free agent before this season’s marketplace officially opens Sunday at 6 PM ET. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 28, 2024
Yossi Gozlan: The Denver Nuggets are heading into free agency $18 million below the $189.5 million second apron with 11 players after trading Reggie Jackson to Charlotte and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope opting out. If the objective is to re-sign Caldwell-Pope and field the roster while staying below the second apron, they’ll need to reduce more salary to accomplish that. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 27, 2024
That’s especially true for teams with spending money in their pockets. The Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic are expected to pursue Caldwell-Pope using the ample cap space at their disposal, league sources told The Denver Post. Those are compelling destinations, considering both teams made the 2024 playoffs and are trying to take the next step. Other potential suitors that have been reported include Indiana, Chicago and San Antonio. -via Denver Post / June 27, 2024
