Ryan Blackburn of Mile Excessive Sports activities requested Sales space about his confidence in retaining Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the staff’s stalwart capturing guard starter, in NBA free company after the draft. Sales space’s reply appeared to strongly suggest he’s not assured the two-time champion capturing guard will likely be again (emphasis mine): You talked about the beginning lineup, having all these guys collectively, having an costly beginning lineup — we’ve talked concerning the limitations that the CBA has actually introduced, has that modified your perspective or formed your perspective on ensuring to retain KCP vs. totally different pathways that had been clearly restricted clearly should you lose him? Sales space: Yeah, I feel it’s important to take a look at every part and the character of free company is that he’s unrestricted. So we will attempt to carry him again and if he doesn’t need to come again or opts to go someplace else, that’s his prerogative so we’ll must work with that. So I feel we’re ready to love plug and play so to talk. While you take a look at among the groups which were good up to now, they needed to discover a method to substitute fourth, fifth starters, sixth males off the bench and nonetheless hold rolling. It might be good if he’s again, we’d have plenty of continuity collectively, however all of the stuff I’ve checked out with lineup stuff and every part, Christian Braun is without doubt one of the greatest internet score guys within the league — as is KCP. So I feel if he’s to step into the beginning lineup, I’d mission that we’ll be OK if KCP doesn’t return.” -via SB Nation / June 27, 2024
