Cavaliers Eye Kuminga Amid LeBron Watch | Cleveland Cavaliers News

Cleveland Cavaliers are heavily linked to Jonathan Kuminga in free agency, positioning him as a top target if LeBron James stays put. With a strong connection to Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson — who coached him during his time with Golden State — Kuminga’s fit could be seamless. After Atlanta declined his $24M option, the 2021 lottery pick is now a free agent seeking a $25M deal. Despite a shaky playoff three-point game, he’s shown elite scoring potential, averaging 16 PPG in 2023-24. Cleveland’s luxury tax woes may force trades of players like Max Strus or Dennis Schröder — especially if LeBron’s future is uncertain. The Bucks and Lakers are also in the mix, but the Cavs’ timing and relationship with Kuminga make them a serious contender.
