Lakers Struggle to Land Kuminga | Los Angeles Lakers News

Kuminga, seeking a bigger payday, is holding out hope elsewhere, with Cleveland, Atlanta, and Sacramento all in the mix. To land him, LA might need to trade future assets like Jarred Vanderbilt or Jaden Hardy, a move they’re reluctant to make after recently turning down a deal for Rui Hachimura. The clock’s ticking as both sides wait to see how the rest of the free agency unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
