Jonathan Kuminga Sign-and-Trade Talks

Jonathan Kuminga is down to the Lakers or Timberwolves in a sign-and-trade. The Lakers have major momentum, but a stalemate over salary and leverage persists, with the Warriors holding the cards. A new report indicates Atlanta doesn't want Jarred Vanderbilt, so the deal is shifting toward Jaden Hardy. The Lakers have a fallback option in Derrick Jones Jr. if the deal fails.
