Millions of people consider Nikola Jokic to be the most important player for the Denver Nuggets.
And while he may be the team’s biggest and most talented star, their success has only been possible because of multiple supporting players who have done so much over the years.
One of them is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the talented veteran who has spent two seasons with the Nuggets.
But Caldwell-Pope could be on the move this summer, according to a new report from Zach Lowe, via Evan Sidery.
The Philadelphia 76ers will likely show interest in Caldwell-Pope once free agency kicks off.
The Sixers have over $60 million in cap space and would love to attract Caldwell-Pope, who is known for his high basketball IQ and terrific sharpshooting skills.

Caldwell-Pope has put up 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists during his two seasons with Denver.
More importantly, he has shot 41.5% from beyond the three-point line and has created multiple clutch plays.
The Nuggets thrive because they have several reliable role players who can do a number of things, such as Caldwell-Pope.
Losing him would create a major hole in their roster, especially just a year after also saying goodbye to Bruce Brown.
The 76ers could really benefit from Caldwell-Pope’s skills and they obviously have some money to throw around.
Philadelphia is definitely a team to keep an eye on this summer because they have some big plans, huge goals, and deep pockets.
Will Caldwell-Pope be the only star they target?
More importantly, what will the Nuggets do if they have to cut ties with him?
This could be the sort of signing that greatly affects both teams.
