Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has spent the past two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, although the former Pistons man has failed to make much of an impact. Caldwell-Pope was reliable during his first season on a Lakers team that had few aspirations, although the 26-year-old was relegated to the bench following the arrival of LeBron James.

Throughout the 18-19 season, Caldwell-Pope managed just 24.8 minutes per game, averaging 11.4 points and 2.9 rebounds. However, the shooting guard's decision to wait for a new deal with the Lakers paid off, as he was handed a new two-year contract and worth $16 million.

With the Lakers bringing in Troy Daniels and Avery Bradley in free agency, Caldwell-Pope is expected to struggle for minutes, and the guard is unlikely to be a starter under Frank Vogel. With the Lakers short on bigs, a trade may be explored ahead of the deadline.
