Claude on Kuminga to the Lakers:

Lakers signing Kuminga is a no-brainer at this price — and the advanced analytics say why.

Post-LeBron, LA’s biggest hole is the forward spot. Kessler, Grimes, Sexton, Mamu — none of them fill it. Kuminga does.

His elite traits (rim pressure, 86th percentile FT rate, transition, defensive versatility) are exactly what thrives next to Luka. His fatal flaw — low portability, no spacing, wants the ball — only kills you if you let him play hero ball.

Stretch Vanderbilt, sign him cheap, and tell him the truth on day one: this is Luka’s team. Cut, dunk, draw fouls, guard the best forward.

If he buys in, LA just stole a 23-year-old starter. If he doesn’t, it ends like Golden State.

LeBron James to Rich Paul about the Lakers

“I’m 100% sure that that’s not a place I would want to return.”

LeBron never had a formal meeting with the Lakers

REPORT: Jalen Duren had a productive meeting with the Lakers on Tuesday and is scheduled to meet with them again on Wednesday morning, per @TheAthletic

"Duren was told by the Lakers in the meeting that they view him as a maximum-salary level player"

[Sam Amick @sam_amick]

Sources: Jalen Duren scheduled to meet with the Lakers again tomorrow, and strong signs they’re willing to go big with a possible restricted free agency offer.

Update on the Kings meeting and lay of that land as well, at @TheAthletic

Shams:

"Right now as we speak Lakers president Rob Pelinka has been in the midst of multiple meetings with free agents. That includes restricted free agents like Walker Kessler and Jalen Duren, that includes other unrestricted free agents. They're gonna prioritize some size, shooting, backcourt help. They're gonna be aggressive to try to fill this roster out with multiple different types of players"

You don’t have to be a LBJ fan, but disrespecting what he did for the Lakers is crazy. He came when nobody else would, delivered Banner 17, carried the franchise through tough years, and left it better than he found it. That’s Lakers history forever

Yall are embarrassing man..

[Herd w/Colin Cowherd @TheHerd]

"They made their decision in February of 2025 when they traded for Luka... That was not a LeBron James decision. LeBron was not consulted in that decision."
