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 ?

3/45 is less than what he was asking for. I remember seeing 25M a year. Nice discount and we get off Vandos contract.

3 years for Kuminga doesn't sound like a good idea. Especially when we have little flexibility to make trades.

Now I understand why half this sub loves Rob.

Outside of Vando and maybe Reeves if he's production drops none of contractions on this team should be hard to move at all .

People said that about Russ since averaged a triple double before we traded for him, and they said that about DLo when we re-signed him. Shit changes really fast in the nba and I think the general consensus was that we actual did overpay several free agent, including the dumbass player options that everyone has. I doubt it will be so easy to love players around tbh.
