Cavaliers discuss potential sign-and-trade for Jonathan Kuminga

The Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing Jonathan Kuminga in a potential sign-and-trade deal as they seek roster improvements before training camp next month. Sources indicate that Kuminga is a top target alongside the Los Angeles Lakers, with discussions ongoing regarding a deal that could exceed $20 million annually. However, an NBA scout warned that acquiring Kuminga at the cost of players like Max Strus may not make the Cavaliers a better team, as Strus is noted for his versatility and work ethic. The Cavaliers aim to create financial flexibility following recent moves, including parting ways with Dennis Schröder.
