Caldwell-Pope signed a new one-year deal with the Los Angles Lakers over the summer, although he has since lost his starting place, as Luke Walton has preferred to start the team's young core alongside LeBron James. The former Pistons man is averaging just 21.6 minutes per game from the bench, and his points-per-game total has fallen to a near career-low of 8.7.

Despite this, Caldwell-Pope has scored at least 10 points in 7 of his last 9 games, and he would represent a major upgrade on the Sixers current reserve unit. The Lakers also seem desperate to do a deal, as the team was reportedly looking to include the 25-year-old in a trade for the Phoenix Suns Trevor Ariza. If the 76ers can find a way to take on Caldwell-Pope's $12 million contract, then a deal will be completed quickly.
