Kentavious Caldwell-Pope set for a huge offseason

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope set for a huge offseason.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a $15.4 million player option for next season. The Denver Nuggets will have to pay luxury tax if they want to keep Caldwell-Pope on their roster. If KCP exercises his player option or signs an extension, the Nuggets will be a second tax apron team.

Another option for the two-time NBA champion is to decline his player option to become a free agent this summer. KCP will have plenty of suitors given his championship experience, defense and 3-point shooting. He's already linked with the OKC Thunder, a team that needs the experience and has a lot of cap space.

The Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets, Utah Jazz, and San Antonio Spurs also need a player like KCP and all have the money to pay him a nice contract.

But if he wants to win, Caldwell-Pope's best bet will still be the Nuggets. Their championship window will remain open if they can keep their core intact, something that the ownership might be willing to do.
