Enough time has passed to process the Desmond Bane trade now, right? Even if not, it's time to talk about why Grizzlies fans should start to get really excited about Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Caldwell-Pope, commonly known by the nickname KCP, is a veteran player with championship-level experience. Prior to his time with the Orlando Magic, KCP was on the Denver Nuggets and helped lead the team to its first-ever NBA Championship in 2023.
Memphis acquired something they truly needed on the roster with KCP; he has been to the playoffs numerous times in his career, knows what it takes to win a championship, and has over 10 years of experience in the league.
