Jonathan Kuminga is heating up as the top free agent target, with the Lakers and Cavs circling — but both face steep financial hurdles. Cleveland’s cap crunch forces a potential sign-and-trade with Atlanta, while L.A. waits for Kuminga to agree to a deal that fits their budget. Despite no serious talks yet, both teams are scrambling under salary constraints — the Lakers just $10M under cap, Cavs have more room (though Harden’s deal complicates things). Kuminga, averaging 12+ points and 5+ rebounds last season, remains optimistic about landing a better deal as the offseason unfolds.
