Kentavious Caldwell-Pope negotiating buyout from Grizzlies
Digest more
If the Memphis Grizzlies think about buying out the $66 million Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Denver Nuggets were pushed to target him.
The Grizzlies are rebuilding, so it makes sense to give the available minutes away to someone they're looking to develop. The Nuggets should happily slot Russell in as the backup point guard. Aside from Russell Westbrook, Russell will be the best option available should he get bought out.
According to reports, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the latest name to join LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Denver Nuggets coach David Adelman is looking for more help as he tries to steer the team back to the NBA Finals.
Grizzlies point guard D'Angelo Russell is not believed to be a long-term piece in Memphis, with both sides expected to work together toward a resolution that would allow the 30-year-old to find a new home at some point this offseason — whether via a buyout agreement or a trade — sources tell Yahoo Sports.
