The 76ers are trading Broome and a second-round pick to the Clippers for cash considerations Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Caldwell-Pope (finger) agreed to a buyout with the Grizzlies on Saturday and plans to sign a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
James agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract with the 76ers on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Wagler closed with 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 128-120 Summer League win over the Timberwolves.
Caesar’s. Ivica Zubac has remained under this combined line in 13 of his last 17 games. He’ll have the unenviable task of facing Joel Embiid tonight, who looks to be his MVP-caliber self of late. Coinciding with Embiid’s resurgence, the 76ers are allowing the fifth fewest PRA to opposing centers over the last 15 games. No James Harden tonight, but that should hurt big Zu, who averages 3.5 less points per 36 minutes without his pick-and-roll running mate on the court.
The Philadelphia 76ers have enjoyed playing nine out of their last ten games at home. Travel for a cross country flight to Los Angeles I do believe will have enough of an impact to downgrade Philadelphia tonight. Joel Embiid has scored 29 points or more in seven straight games and had his first forty point outing of the season. Expect a dip against a Clippers team that has already covered the number in a back to bak spot against Philadelphia in November.
You'd think that for a team that has won 17 of its last 21 games, the Clippers would be granted a bit more respect from the oddsmakers and wagering public....though we take advantage tonight. Even the absence of James Harden (likely available tonight) didn't slow LA on Sunday in Phoenix, when rolling past the Suns 117-93 as Kawhi Leonard (25 points) exceeded 20 points for a remarkable 27th straight time. A motivated Kawhi, too, after being bypassed for the West All-Star squad in a game to be played at the Clips' Intuit Dome. The Sixers enter Inglewood on a 3-game win streak though all at home vs. beatable foes before this much-tougher test tonight. Play Clippers.
Paul George (suspension) is out, so Kelly Oubre Jr. should receive more scoring opportunities for the 76ers. With George out Saturday versus the Pelicans, Oubre scoring 19 points over 30 minutes. A key stat for this game is that Oubre is shooting 36.9% from behind the arc. The Clippers allow the sixth-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league, so Oubre could be a matchup problem for them.
