The Los Angeles Lakers are working toward additional roster upgrades this offseason, with reports indicating interest in two specific areas. Multiple outlets say the team is targeting a free-agent forward and also pursuing Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga as part of that effort. The reporting frames Kuminga as a primary target, noting that the 23-year-old has shown interest in joining the Lakers, though details on how a deal could proceed remain unclear. In addition, the Lakers are also reportedly looking for an “elite” 3-and-D wing—an outside-capable defender who can both defend at a high level and space the floor. The accounts describe this as part of a broader effort by general manager Rob Pelinka to “retool” the roster, but suggest the team has not yet finished its offseason work and is still considering further moves before finalizing its rotation. While the outlets align on the team’s objectives—Kuminga plus another 3-and-D addition—the specifics such as player availability, contract terms, and potential trade conditions are not fully detailed in the provided material.
