Lakers eye a sign-and-trade for Jonathan Kuminga, offering $15-16M, but the young star wants $20M+ or a one-year deal—creating a snag since sign-and-trades require at least three years. Hawks, who eyed Jarred Vanderbilt, may now be less willing to part with him after acquiring Lu Dort, forcing LA to add players like Jaden Hardy or Dalton Knecht to balance the deal. Critics question Kuminga’s value given his shaky 33% shooting from deep, which could disrupt the Lakers’ spacing, but his youth, athleticism, and potential defensive upside make him an intriguing gamble for a team needing wing depth.
