Cavaliers predicted to sign $349M former MVP, nine-time All-Star over Jonathan Kuminga
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been chasing Jonathan Kuminga for some time now. In this potential deal, they could turn their eyes to a veteran who is way more proven.
Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly considering free agent shooting guard Russell Westbrook over high-priced nine-time All-Star Jonathan Kuminga. The Cavaliers have been chasing Kuminga for free agency, but his salary demands have put the process in limbo. Sources say Kuminga is seeking a contract that exceeds $20 million per season, which is above the Cavaliers' budget.
The Lakers are also in the running to sign Kuminga. In contrast, Westbrook has a proven track record of providing veteran leadership and offensive spark to past teams. He is expected to earn around $349 million in contracts throughout his career, making him a strong short-term addition for the Cavaliers. Moreover, Westbrook could give the Cavs a veteran presence similar to LeBron James, who they missed out on during free agency.
