“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 a sign-and-trade,” Stein wrote Thursday.”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.”
Nuggets prepared to move on from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope if necessary
“Yeah, I think you have to look at everything, and the nature of free agency is that he’s unrestricted,” Booth said. “So, we can try to bring him back, and if he doesn’t want to come back, or opts to go somewhere else, that’s his prerogative. … I think we’re prepared to plug and play, so to speak.”
“It would be nice if [Caldwell-Pope’s] back, we’d have a lot of continuity together. But all the stuff I’ve looked at with lineup stuff and everything, Christian Braun is one of the best net rating guys in the league, as is KCP,” Booth said. “So, I think if he’s to step into the starting lineup, I would project that we’ll be okay if KCP doesn’t return.”
