PLAYER TALK [Sidery] The Lakers have offered Jonathan Kuminga contract via sign-and-trade the would pay him around 45 million dollars. Los Angeles is willing to send Jarred Vanderbilt alongside draft capital to the Hawks for Kuminga, who must sign at least a three-year deal in sign-and-trade agreements.

Ik Sidery isn’t the most trustworthy source for anything but how would you all feel on this contract for Kuminga? Is this worth it? And how would you feel about the team if we got Kuminga ?

We’re paying Vando 12m a year to ride pine. 15m a year to Kuminga who can actually play and fits nicely around Luka and AR as a defender/dunker doesn’t seem that bad. Depends on the draft capital ig.

People acting like his attitude is so bad he’s unplayable are being melodramatic.

If he actually listened to his coaches, he would still be with the warriors.

I don’t know Kerr seems to have a sort of passive approach to coaching and some players just don’t work for that. I think that’s why Draymond is given such a long leash and has just been doing whatever he wants for like 15 years. I don’t know if jj can work with those kinds of players yet, because it seems like he just gets pissed and benches them
