How much should KCP be worth to the Lakers? Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

After spending the first segment of the show (0:00-14:29) discussing the latest on the NBA and NBPA’s continuing negotiations over when the 2020-21 season will start, Harrison and Anthony looked back on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s year, his up-and-down (and often-polarizing) Lakers career, and then debated how much he’ll be worth to the team moving forward. Because of the weirdness of this free agency market and the context of their roster, Caldwell-Pope might literally be more valuable to the Lakers than he would be to any other NBA team, but retaining him could come at a steep price. Harrison and Anthony discussed why it still might be worth paying. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Anthony at @AnthonyIrwinLA. Learn more about your ad choices.
