Summary
Atlanta Hawks let Jonathan Kuminga walk after declining his $24.3M option, sending him to Minnesota as a free agent. Though his agent Matt Turner boldly called Kuminga the team’s best player since his February trade, data from NBA insider Brett Siegel shows he ranked sixth in plus-minus and ninth in playoffs — not quite “best.” Turner’s controversial comments, including advising Kuminga to reject a better Lakers offer, have drawn criticism. Now, Kuminga heads to Minnesota on a one-year deal — a risky move for both sides as they navigate his uncertain future.
