Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been one of the best role players in the NBA over his 12-year career.

Last summer, he signed a big contract with the Orlando Magic.

However, the Magic have now traded the 32-year-old to the Memphis Grizzlies after just one season.

Via The Orlando Magic: "We have acquired guard-forward Desmond Bane from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for guard Cole Anthony, guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and multiple future first round draft picks." Many people reacted to Caldwell-Pope getting traded.

@ryenarussillo: "KCP was on Orlando?" @kingtisemedia: "I dont think people realize how useless KCP was on the Magic this season" @Betsycashmoney: "I see people talking about KCP like he's Ben Simmons...

I'm sorry, I know he had a rough shooting season, but I don't think he just magically became awful.

I still think he'll bounce back.".
