With the Cleveland Cavaliers landing Peyton Watson, one of the biggest free agents this summer, in a multi-team sign-and-trade deal from the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, it seems like they're out of the running for Jonathan ******* inga.
The Los Angeles Lakers have wanted ******* inga since the start of the NBA's free agency period, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are also rumored to be interested in the 23-year-old forward. But ******* inga, who is still a free agent, is thought to be demanding a contract that would pay him at least $20 million a year.
Reporter Keith Smith said on the "NBA Front Office" show that ******* inga is "still holding out" for a sizable contract (h/t Heavy Sports).
"I know the Lakers would still love to acquire him. … That is certainly on the table still," Smith said on "NBA Front Office." "But ******* inga is still holding out for a much bigger contract than it looks like he's headed to get right now."
Kuminga's potential is undeniable. He's very athletic and a big threat in transition, but he hasn't put it all together in five pro seasons. Thus far, he has a career average of 12.5 points in 22.1 minutes a game on 50.2% field-goal shooting and 33.2% from 3-point range.
