That the Los Angeles Lakers are attempting to pursue two max-salary free agents like LeBron James and Paul George this summer is well known. Generating significantly less headlines are where the free agents currently on the Lakers’ roster, such as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, might head after the season.
The Lakers haven’t openly ruled out re-signing Caldwell-Pope, but such a scenario would be disappointing for a team that has so openly spoken about having far bigger dreams for the summer.
Caldwell-Pope is averaging 13.7 points and 4.8 rebounds on 41.6 percent shooting while making 35.7 percent of his 3-pointers.
