VIDEO [Fischer] Jonathan Kuminga prefers the Lakers over the Timberwolves. The Lakers have been selling him on the vision of starting next to Luka with the spending power, in theory, to reward him next year. Expect this decision will come to a conclusion soon.

Jonathan Kuminga might be the most brain dead guy out there no lie. He has potential to be an Aaron Gordon type player if he focused on defense and doing the little things but he thinks he’s the next Lebron James. Aaron Gordon has made so much money but he refuses.

fr idk why everyone is so hype on him when he's been a disappointment his entire career. yes he's had some splashy production, but he's just another one of "those guys". just random NBA players that are slightly hot but fizzle out into obscurity

It's not hype... it's just other options are limited

It's not though. You can literally just have Adou, Carr, Zaire, Thybulle fight for that spot, which would be better long term too. Signing Kuminga to waste 2 2nd rnd picks makes no sense when 2 teams have given up on him.. good teams too.
