Lakers have major momentum to sign $46M ex-Warriors NBA champion to pair with Luka Doncic
The Los Angeles Lakers have some final spots to fill on the roster. It looks like they are close to getting something done to acquire their last starter.
The Los Angeles Lakers are making significant strides in their pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga, a former NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors. The team is offering Kuminga a contract worth around $45 million in a sign-and-trade deal, which would include sending Jarred Vanderbilt along with draft capital to the Atlanta Hawks. With the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent acquisition of Peyton Watson, Kuminga's options have become limited to the Lakers or the Minnesota Timberwolves, as he prefers the Lakers.
Kuminga's last season was with the Warriors, where he signed a $46 million contract. After months of negotiations, the Lakers are making significant progress in securing Kuminga's commitment, bringing the team closer to filling a crucial role alongside Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
