Memphis Grizzlies TRADE Kentavious Caldwell-Pope To The Los Angeles Lakers? | NBA Trade Rumors
So, could the Memphis Grizzlies be trading away Contavia’s Caldwell Pope to the Los Angeles Lakers this 2025 NBA off season? Well, here on the screen is a tweet on X from Legion Hoops which says report the Los Angeles Lakers engaged in trade discussions for Contavius Caldwell Pope and Dante Danchenzo per Bred Seagull MBA. So, just for this video, I want to focus on the Contavius Cabo Pope side of things because uh this is actually a pretty reasonable option, I would say, at this point of the 2025 NBA offseason. So, we saw the Lakers a couple days ago kind of by surprise sign Marcus Smart, a good defensive player, an older player, uh but is some more depth coming off the bench and more of a defensive role. If they’re looking for a good three and D option, a good player that can kind of stand in the corner, jack up some threes and and some more limited action, Contavius Caldwell Pope at this point of his career sort of fits the bill there. And if you’re a Los Angeles Lakers fan, you know KCP of course pretty well as not too long ago, he of course was part of the Lakers 2020 NBA championship. So KCP’s been around the block a little bit in terms of his NBA career. Uh he of course was a part of the um pretty blockbuster trade that happened this off season that saw Desmond Bane go to the Magic. So all signs point towards the the Memphis Grizzlies probably rerouting uh KCP uh prior to the start of the season. KCP at this point of his career as I mentioned before nothing crazy. Uh probably like a 7 to 11 point per game guy but I think it’s always good to add some shooters around Luca Donish players that can stretch the floor and defensively speaking he brings some pretty good value to the table as well. So, if the Lakers want to go out there and add a player for a relatively low asking price, a player that they’re familiar with, I think KCP kind of fits the bill in regards to what they’re looking for, especially after signing Marcus Smart to a contract this off season. I think adding KCP making space for him makes a ton of sense. It would actually provide some more depth on the lineup on this Lakers roster. So, what do you guys think? A Contavius Caldwell Pope Los Angeles Lakers look good if it were to happen. Leave your thoughts.
