Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has agreed to a three-year, $66 million deal with the Orlando Magic, leaving the Denver Nuggets. The deal includes a player option for the third year, averaging $22 million per year. Caldwell-Pope, known for his shooting prowess with a 40.6% three-point shooting percentage over the last four seasons and championship experience, is expected to bring veteran leadership to the young Magic roster. This move is seen as a significant loss for the Nuggets, who have also lost Bruce Brown Jr. in consecutive seasons. Caldwell-Pope's departure may open opportunities for players like Julian Strawther and Christian Braun in Denver.
