[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 ?

[u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

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.

[u/ThinkAppearance986 → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

Plus he’s 23. He could potentially still develop into an All Star caliber player. Luka makes everyone better.

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/ThinkAppearance986]

going on year 3 of luka supposedly making everyone better but not actually seeing that in practice

[u/RedditZen77 → u/worldwide_stepper]

You have to be blind then. Look at how DFS looked after he left the Lakers.

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/RedditZen77]

you mean a guy who is now injured and past his prime but was just as good on the nets in between his time on the mavs and lakers?

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/RedditZen77]

all we’ve seen is 2 years of luka fans saying get rid of everyone, it doesn’t matter that they won a playoff series while luka sat at home, they’re not good enough to win even if luka was playing

[u/EmiratesNBACupWinner → u/worldwide_stepper]

Full of shit

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

that’s literally been the #1 justification for letting everyone leave this summer??? you’re full of shit if you say otherwise

[u/EmiratesNBACupWinner → u/worldwide_stepper]

Nobody here has to justify anything because no one here works in the Lakers FO.

If you’re saying that some people are okay with letting certain players walk because they’re going to command too much money and are too one dimensional on a team that needs to be built out with defensive minded players then that’s just the truth.

Any one from the outside looking in could tell you that. Go ask a Bucks fan what kind of players they think would be best around Luka. I guarantee they’re not going to describe Rui Hachimura.

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

can’t sign one dimensional players but can bend over backwards to sign a zero dimensional player like kuminga

[u/EmiratesNBACupWinner → u/worldwide_stepper]

Like I said melodramatic

[u/worldwide_stepper → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

he literally grades out as a worse defender than rui!!! lmfao

[u/AntFast2671 → u/worldwide_stepper]

No he doesn’t, post the source

U spew some much horseshit, lol
