Lakers likely to trade for Jonathan Kuminga in 3-team deal

The Los Angeles Lakers are exploring a significant trade that could bring NBA champion Jonathan Kuminga to the team in exchange for Jarred Vanderbilt and Jake LaRavia. The proposed three-team deal would also involve Myles Turner moving to the Atlanta Hawks. This trade aims to address the Lakers' need for a starting wing after LeBron James informed the franchise he would not return for the upcoming season. Negotiations are ongoing as the Lakers pursue a sign-and-trade agreement to secure Kuminga, who is expected to sign a four-year, $85.5 million contract as part of the deal.
