Jonathan Kuminga’s free agency is narrowing fast—Cleveland and LA Clippers are out after snagging Peyton Watson and Max Strus. The Lakers, long rumored to be his most likely destination, now look like the frontrunner as other options vanish. A sign-and-trade could unlock draft assets or trade exceptions for LA, while Atlanta might want to shed salary via a third party. But LA’s lack of high-value assets makes a direct deal unlikely—both sides need clear wins. With no clear path forward, Kuminga’s future hinges on whether the Lakers can sweeten the deal enough to make Atlanta say yes.
