Lakers coverage from Las Vegas reports that both Los Angeles and forward Jonathan Kuminga are interested in working out a deal to have him join the team this season. The reports say Kuminga also wants to play for the Lakers, and that the two sides are engaging in negotiations as free agency continues. However, they still do not agree on contract terms, with a reported difference focused on money. The accounts note that, more than a week after the start of free agency, negotiations have not yet produced an agreement because the Lakers and Kuminga remain apart on compensation. While specific offer details, figures, and timelines are not included in the provided excerpts, the shared theme is that a deal would depend on closing the financial gap between what the Lakers are willing to pay and what Kuminga expects. As a result, Kuminga’s potential move to Los Angeles remains contingent on reaching terms that satisfy both sides.
