Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas criticizes Jonathan Kuminga’s decision to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, saying the contract is not the right move compared with an expected alternative.

Multiple outlets report Arenas comments that Kuminga’s deal is “cheap” and worth $13 million over two years. The criticism is framed around the idea that Kuminga was viewed as a likely option for the Los Angeles Lakers, including reports suggesting interest or tipping toward Los Angeles earlier in the offseason.

While the core details are consistent, outlets vary slightly in wording. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both describe Arenas “roasting” or slamming Kuminga for choosing Minnesota over the Lakers. Yahoo Sports emphasizes that the decision contrasted with being tipped toward the Lakers “as far back as a few months ago,” while the New York Post focuses more directly on Arenas’s reaction to the contract structure.
