Lakers Pivot to Cameron Johnson, Kuminga Stalemate Continues
After losing LeBron, the Lakers are exploring a trade for Nets' Cameron Johnson (3-and-D, expiring contract). A proposed package of Vanderbilt and LaRavia is considered light. Meanwhile, Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency remains in limbo with low offers; new analysis argues his skill set doesn't fit L.A. and his development is flat, making a deal less likely.
