## Resource

Lakers are pushing hard to land Jonathan Kuminga, but can’t sign him outright—so they’re eyeing a sign-and-trade with the Hawks. Atlanta’s hesitant to take on Jarred Vanderbilt’s bloated contract, but the 2032 first-round pick swap could sweeten the deal. If it happens, Hawks get Kuminga and Vanderbilt plus future draft flexibility, but face roster chaos with 17 players and $25M left on Vanderbilt’s deal. Lakers might try to move Vanderbilt elsewhere or negotiate a smaller Kuminga contract to make room. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
