According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the deal likely won;t be finalized until July 6 to make the financial end of the deal work.

This is a July 6 trade to make the money work (unless WAS adds more $)

KCP- $14M- expiring
Smith- $4.7M- contract now guaranteed

Barton-$14.37- expiring
Morris- $9.12- 2 years left

Trade works by $12,129

Denver would replace the $8.2M trade exception with a new $9.1M TE https://t.co/QaRYNCqQXM

With the deal, the Nuggets get a versatile wing player in Caldwell-Pope that they were pursuing while the Wizards add a point guard in Morris. This also means Washington is likely done looking for another point guard with the team linked to free agent Tyus Jones or a possible trade for the Pacers' Malcolm Brodgon.
