Jonathan Kuminga reportedly prefers joining the Los Angeles Lakers over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The free agent is still weighing his future after the end of his stint with the Atlanta Hawks.

According to Jake Fischer, the Lakers have pitched Kuminga on a starting role alongside Luka Doncic and the possibility of securing a more lucrative contract next summer.

Los Angeles and Atlanta have resumed sign-and-trade talks, with Jaden Hardy potentially included in the framework. According to NBC Sports’ Kurt Helin, the main obstacle remains the Hawks’ demand for draft compensation to absorb additional salary.
