Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to decline player option and get big short-term offer elsewhere?

With Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson entering free agency and some concern the team won’t be able to re-sign him, Minnesota has been linked to Kansas forward Johnny Furphy in consecutive HoopsHype aggregate mock draft polls. Heading into free agency, there’s also concern that guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could decline his $15.44 million player option, enter unrestricted free agency, and land a potential short-term offer for a higher salary annually comparable to Bruce Brown’s previous two-year, $45 million deal with Indiana. -via HoopsHype / June 15, 2024
