The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, but the Denver Nuggets may be unwilling to facilitate a sign-and-trade, per Marc Stein.

“League sources say that there would be mutual interest in free agency between Caldwell-Pope and the Dallas Mavericks … but Dallas could only get into Caldwell-Pope's projected salary range via sign-and-trade. It is believed that the Nuggets do not want to participate in a sign-and-trade with an in-conference rival — Dallas just supplanted Denver as the NBA's reigning Western Conference champion — even if that means losing Caldwell-Pope without compensation.”
