The Lakers’ attempt to acquire Jonathan Kuminga is stalled due to salary disputes, as he seeks a higher contract than the $15-16 million offered. Kuminga prefers a one-year deal to restore his value rather than a three-year commitment required for a sign-and-trade. His previous contract with Atlanta, which declined a $24.3 million option, leaves him as an unrestricted free agent. Until a compromise is reached, the potential deal remains on hold, with Cleveland also showing interest.
