Lakers pursue Jonathan Kuminga through potential sign-and-trade deal

The Lakers are in discussions to acquire forward Jonathan Kuminga from the Hawks via a sign-and-trade arrangement. Kuminga, who has had an inconsistent career with the Warriors and was traded to Atlanta last year, is a key target for Los Angeles this summer. The Lakers reportedly offered a two-year contract worth $20 million, but Kuminga's camp seeks a larger deal. The Hawks have expressed willingness to facilitate a sign-and-trade, which could include Lakers player Jarred Vanderbilt and a first-round pick swap. The next step involves negotiations between the teams and Kuminga's acceptance of a longer contract.
