I still think back to the Hawks is in play. They still have his Bird Rights.
Let Kuminga go…we good with theiro…
Please God NO he is a selfish narcissist who just plays for money, The Lakers just got rid of one Narcissist. Why would the Lakers want a player who is not a team player.
Jonathon Kuminga just wants money, from the very beginning when he bypassed college to play in the G League Ignite
Send Kuminga overseas
I think the problem for LA is that there isnāt a team to facilitate a sign and trade. Most of the teams who have cap space are already at or above the max roster spots and need to make cuts. So Vando is probably not getting traded. Other teams could just then wait out the Lakers buying out their own guys and signing the, to even smaller minimum contracts. Which really isnāt saving the Lakers much money either. I would guess the Lakers offer is much closer to the minimum than we expect.
If itās not working, theyāre gonna blame Kuminga who the hell is gonna blame Kuminga over Luka or Austin or even walker lolā¦.makes no sense⦠to be honest I think he doesnāt want to pressure. I think he wants a smaller team like a Cleveland or Minnesota.
Wolves would be quite stucked if he went there
You wonāt have decision soon. Lakers are not making move during Lukaās trip. If one of the current players gets traded or waived, it would be the dumbest thing lakers could ever do and ruin relationship with Luka.
If I'm the Lakers I'd try to move Hardy, Knecht & Bronny in a 3 way trade sending Bronny + a 2cd to Philly for Bona or just Bronny going there with a 2cd coming back to the Lakers. Then try to move Knecht & Hardy + the pick swap to Chicqgo for Jalen Smith. Then sign Cam Whitmore for the vet minimum. Fk Kuminga. Those moves would balance out our roster with a nice 4/5 in Smith that can start along side Kessler & play some backup 4 & Whitmore just gives us more wing depth on a cheap prove it deal.
I like him as a Timberwolves.
At this point, I'm tired, so, I'm willing to to take a look at Carr & Theiro & maybe Kumunga(if I'm saying it right)……or a combination of the first two…..
Iām a laker fan since birth. I hope he goes to Minnesota. We just got rid of our cancer. We donāt need a relapse. If he becomes a laker, mark my words⦠they will regret it. Pelinka, (and Iām not a fan of his) for the first time has put together a TEAM with a plan. Like the plan or not, and on paper I do, but Kuminga is NOT a team player. (like LeDiddy wasnāt) He cares about money and Kuminga doesnāt not that I hate him for trying to get a bag. He canāt read the room though. He hasnāt earned a huge contract yet. He is a drama queen. Itās Pelinkaās fault for not adding a starting wing and backup center. We HAD a backup center in Ayton and under contract. They dumped him and now we have Mamu and looney. Ayton would have been great off the bench and could have been the focus of our bench squad. He knew he needed to put up numbers so when his contract with the lakers was over, he wanted to have good numbers for his value with the next team. I do like a lot of Pelinkaās plans but his contracts were not smart and he left out some positions that every team needs.
Anyway tell Raj to stop disrespecting me sounding like Aziz Ansari!
This dude has been on kuminga watch for 2 monthsššš
Heās not even a great fit with us but just the best available option left out there for us
Yeah I like Mamu better. Mamu is a better fit for our ball club imo. Besides, Mamu is glad to be a Laker. Stop glazing this 12ppg scorer.
Kuminga is disliked everywhere he goes. Is the love for him by Lakers because they formed such an awful roster they need the bum?
Can we stop talking about Kuminga
