Caldwell-Pope Heads to Philly | NBA News

The Memphis Grizzlies are moving on from veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who’s set to be bought out and join LeBron James in Philly with the 76ers. Once seen as part of their long-term plan, Caldwell-Pope’s departure clears space for younger talent as the Grizzlies rebuild. He averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 51 games this season, missed the final two months due to pinky finger surgery, and brings championship experience from his time with the Lakers. The 76ers, looking to bolster their roster after losing key players, are eager to add his veteran leadership. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies continue their offseason overhaul, having already traded Ja Morant and acquired Jerami Grant and Isaiah Stewart — this move is another step in their strategy to prioritize youth and development.
