    hmmm...what if he was driving, but he switched seats as they were pulled over. the officer saw it, but they were going to have a hard time proving it, so the plea deal? just speculating.

    Looks like "Jason" Hart is going to get a number of starts on the road over the next 25 days.

    Lakers’ Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will not travel with team for 25 days due to legal issue
    Kurt Helin,NBC Sports 1 hour 17 minutes ago
    [​IMG]
    The Lakers’Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed his new team’s first two games this season due to a suspension for a DUI case in Michigan.

    But that was not all. Caldwell-Pope’s came with probation, and to get out of it early the Lakers’ forward has to go through an intensive rehab program — one that does not allow him to leave California with the team for 25 days. He did not play against the Cavaliers and that is just the first of multiple games he will miss, a story broken by Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.


    Caldwell-Pope was originally cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated but pleaded guilty in May to the lesser charge of allowing someone to operate his vehicle while under the influence, which carried a 12-month probation.

    On Thursday, Caldwell-Pope had to return to California to begin an intensive program over the next 25 days that will result in some travel restrictions and could cause him to miss additional games but will end his probation early.

    The Lakers are in a home heavy part of their schedule, and by my calculations KCP would only miss one or two games (for sure against Houston Dec. 20, then maybe against Golden State Dec. 22, but that is in California). The Lakers next road game after that is Dec. 31 in Houston again.

    Caldwell-Pope signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Lakers last offseason, and he has gone on to become one of the few reliable three-point shooters on the team, hitting 36.1 percent from beyond the arc, taking 6.1 shots from there a game. He’s been solid on defense and a player the Lakers’ need, although his overall efficiency is closer to average.

    If the Lakers are successful with their big game hunting during free agency next summer, Caldwell-Pope will not return to the team. In a tight free agent market, he may once again not see offers near what he sees himself worth next summer. That said, his play in Los Angeles has been good. And now he will not have this legal issue hanging over his head during free agency.

    This is really going to mess up Luke's rotations.

    Nailed it. I too, didn't think there was any clutch in him. Had it went in, fine, but I'd rather have the ball in the hands of Ingram, Kuzma, or maybe, Lonzo, in that order.

    I don’t know, he’s hit some pretty big threes late in games for us this season, and he’s had some clutch steals for sure. I didn’t like the shot in THAT situation, but has we set up a play and he was given the ball with an open shot, I have no problem with him taking the last shot.

    i don't mind KCP taking the last shot. he's sunk some pretty big shots this season

    but that was just bad. would have liked to see kuzma, BI, or lonzo take that shot last night. preferably zo because he had the hot hand in OT
