Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is reportedly in negotiations to reach a buyout agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies, with multiple reports indicating he intends to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers afterward. Sources cited by outlets state that the 76ers plan to add Caldwell-Pope to their roster following completion of the buyout process. Several reports also frame the move as a reunion with LeBron James, who played with Caldwell-Pope during their time together on the Los Angeles Lakers, when they won an NBA championship in 2020.
One outlet also provides performance context, saying Caldwell-Pope averaged 8.4 points for Memphis last season. The reporting is consistent that the sequence of events is first a buyout from Memphis, followed by a contract with Philadelphia. At the same time, the reports are framed as negotiations and plans based on sources, rather than finalized terms confirmed in public by all parties in the provided material.
