KCP Out of Memphis, LeBron Reunion | Memphis Grizzlies News

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is reportedly close to finalizing a buyout with the Grizzlies, ending his stint as a salary dump from the Desmond Bane trade.

His departure clears $21.6M in cap space, kicking off Memphis’ roster purge as they aim to trim to 15 players. With more moves expected, this could be just the first domino in a busy offseason rebuild. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
