Fischer on Kuminga:
Hawks dont want Vando but there are multi team scenarios to help trade Vando elsewhere
Lakers are packaging their pick swap in these talks
Is "indeed open" on making lower that his 25-26 salary
A move out of ATL will be a sign and trade no matter the team

Following up on this, a source tells me that Kuminga is likely waiting to see what LeBron decides before making his own move. If LeBron chooses Cleveland, it becomes more likely that Kuminga signs with LA.
But if LeBron goes elsewhere, Cleveland becomes the more probable landing spot for Kuminga.
The Lakers are trying to set up a sign-and-trade with Atlanta for Kuminga, a source tells me.
It'll cost them a combo of Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt, and one of their second...
