Kuminga’s best chance to show off and save his career is the lakers. He gets the spotlight and the money, if he wants to be a “superstar” he needs to have the right mentality and earn it.
Nuggets have offered Peyton Watson a contract for $70M over 5 years, per @Tjonesonthenba.
Nuggets are attempting get under the second apron and sign Watson.
Denver restricted free agent Spencer Jones has agreed to a two-year, $12 million offer sheet with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adam Godes of ADS Sports tells ESPN. Jones was a key contributor for the Nuggets last season, including an NBA-best 69% from 3-point range during the playoffs, and now is ready to conclude chapter in Denver to move onto OKC.
@LakeShowLukaaa PJ Washington is the best case out there. Kuminga buying into his role is a very big gamble when PJ already knows what to do. Also don’t look at PJ’s stats from last year, they were making him do things he doesn’t normally do.
@DeezGuy2@Lakersallthewa3@RichStapless I mean JJ had to be better but then again it was hard to use all 3 of Lebron, Luka and Reaves together. Each of them separately or even duos we looked amazing.
@Jaymoola1985@EmpireJeffTV@thee1LOE No, they are interested in thybulle and pursuing Kuminga, they can’t get thybulle unless they make a trade. Meaning they trade for Kuminga and sign thybulle. So yes, it is realistic.
The Lakers have again broadened their search for perimeter defense, league sources say, registering interest this week in free agent Matisse Thybulle.
They have already added Ziaire Williams while also continuing to pursue Jonathan Kuminga.

Update on Austin Reaves’ contract with the Lakers: Final terms are four years, $180 million, with a player option in 2029–30, league sources tell me. Reaves agreed to a lower amount than the previously reported $185 million to help give Los Angeles more future flexibility.
