NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Lakers have revamped their roster to better complement Luka Doncic’s playing style, acquiring center Walker Kessler, re-signing Austin Reaves, and adding two-way wing Quentin Grimes.
- Los Angeles has one open roster spot and is considering signing wing Jonathan Kuminga to a two-year, $20 million deal, targeting him as a potential starting small forward.
- Kuminga offers good size, perimeter defense, and solid scoring and rebounding stats, but has struggled with off-ball roles and fitting into certain offensive systems in the past.
- The Cavaliers are also interested in Kuminga but are awaiting clarity on the LeBron James situation before pursuing him aggressively.
- The Lakers currently plan for Quentin Grimes to start at small forward, with final roster decisions to be made during training camp.
