## Resource

Jonathan Kuminga’s agent, Aaron Turner, is rewriting the NBA’s contract playbook — steering Kuminga toward shorter, smarter deals that prioritize long-term control over max guaranteed cash. After turning down lucrative offers from the Lakers and Warriors, Turner landed Kuminga a two-year, $13M deal with the Timberwolves, positioning him to thrive alongside high-usage stars like LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards. Though critics question Turner’s bold moves — including his blunt claim that Kuminga was “the best player” on the Hawks — Kuminga himself is embracing the role, saying he’s “just fine” adapting to a reduced shot volume. His focus? Winning, not stats — proving maturity beyond his years as he reshapes his career in Minnesota. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
