The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring a sign-and-trade for Jonathan Kuminga with the Atlanta Hawks. Koby Altman aims to strengthen the team's wing depth after losing Keon Ellis and Dean Wade this offseason. Kuminga, a former lottery pick who averaged 12.2 points last season, could fill a significant void on the roster. The deal is contingent upon the Cavaliers remaining under the first apron after signing James Harden. Moving players like Denis Schroeder or Max Strus may be necessary for the acquisition to occur.
