Lakers discuss opportunity with free agent Jonathan Kuminga

The Los Angeles Lakers are in conversations with free agent wing Jonathan Kuminga, as confirmed by ESPN sources. The team is appealing to Kuminga by offering him an opportunity rather than a substantial salary, as they can only provide a veteran minimum contract. This strategy previously worked for Malik Monk, who later secured a significant deal with the Sacramento Kings. However, Kuminga faces other suitors, making it challenging for the Lakers to convince him to accept a $20 million pay cut.
