JULY 14, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Gets extension with Denver Caldwell-Pope agreed to a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Nuggets on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The second year is a player option.

Impact Caldwell-Pope was traded from the Wizards to the Nuggets at the end of June, and it appears he'll be staying in Denver for the 2022-23 season after agreeing to the two-year extension Wednesday. The 29-year-old averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 30.2 minutes per game with Washington last season, and he should retain a starting role in Denver with Will Barton out of the picture.

Shipped to Denver Caldwell-Pope was traded to the Nuggets from the Wizards on Wednesday, along with Ish Smith, in exchange for Will Barton and Monte Morris, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact In a deal that appears to be a clean, two-for-two trade, the Nuggets and Wizards will essentially swap starting wings and backup point guards. The trade also enables the Nuggets to narrowly dodge the luxury tax line, as Caldwell-Pope's contract is only partially guaranteed, while Smith's deal is fully non-guaranteed for 2022-23, per Evan Sidery of BasketballNews.com. Assuming Denver opts to keep Caldwell-Pope around, he figures to slide into the starting two-guard spot vacated by Barton. Caldwell-Pope averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 threes per game in Washington last season.

Friday's performance also extended his streak of 20-plus points to four -- a significant bump in production from someone averaging 13.2 points on the season. The veteran should continue seeing extra usage down the stretch. He's shooting 42.6 percent from distance since Feb. 1.
