Cavs Eye Kuminga as LeBron Backup | NBA News

Cleveland’s LeBron chase might just land them Jonathan Kuminga as a backup plan — if they can pry him away from Atlanta, who’s now loaded with wings and unwilling to trade up for him. Kuminga’s asking for $20M/year, but sign-and-trade deals are scarce. The Cavs, already trimming roster with cap crunch, could offer Dennis Schröder and Sam Merrill — a $24M combo — to make it happen. Despite his solid stats since leaving Golden State, Kuminga’s value is still debated — but for Cavs fans, he’d be a welcome boost if LeBron’s out of reach.
