Free-agent wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has agreed to a three-year, $40 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Per Charania, the third year of Caldwell-Pope's deal contains a partial guarantee, and he'll have a $15 million average salary over next two seasons.
After playing a key role on the Lakers team that just won the 2020 title, Caldwell-Pope reportedly had many suitors vying for his services. Evidently, the pull to return to the defending champions (who have shored up their roster well this off-season) was too tempting to resist.
