Key Points:
- The Lakers are actively pursuing Jonathan Kuminga to address their need for wing players, offering a two-year, $20 million deal despite it being a significant pay cut from his previous salary.
- Kuminga, who averaged 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds last season and shot 33.3% from three-point range, could see increased opportunities in LA following LeBron James' departure.
- The Lakers have maintained contact with Kuminga's agent and increased their offer, signaling their strong interest, but Kuminga is still seeking the best possible deal.
- Lakers President Rob Pelinka is working to free up salary cap space and convince Kuminga to accept the offer, with the potential for Kuminga to boost his value through a breakout season.
- The negotiation remains ongoing, with the Lakers appearing aggressive in their pursuit and the fit between Kuminga and the team considered promising for both sides.
