76ers pursue Johni Broome trade to clear room for Caldwell-Pope

Broome is owed $2.15 million next season

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 271 min read

What happened: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope plans to join Philadelphia on a one-year, $3.9 million deal after clearing waivers. Waiving and stretching Broome remains the alternative if a trade does not materialize.

Why it matters: A trade would avoid the future dead money created by stretching Broome’s contract. Caldwell-Pope would add a 13-year veteran and two-time champion to the 2026-27 rotation.

By the numbers: Caldwell-Pope averaged 8.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 51 games in 2025-26, shooting 31.6% from 3.

What to watch: Caldwell-Pope is scheduled to clear waivers Tuesday, giving Philadelphia time to complete the corresponding roster move.
