## Resource

Jonathan Kuminga’s agent praised his playoff impact with the Hawks, but a two-year, $13M deal with Minnesota signals both sides moving on was the smartest move. Atlanta, locked into its young core with Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels, couldn’t offer Kuminga the consistent minutes he needed to thrive—especially with Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins adding depth. For Kuminga, a smaller role wasn’t ideal for his growth; his agent felt he deserved more. The Hawks, meanwhile, prioritized flexibility and their long-term identity, making it clear Kuminga’s departure aligned with their rebuild. Now, in Minnesota, Kuminga gets a fresh start to chase a bigger role—and Atlanta gets space to build without forcing a mismatched fit.
