Summary
The Clippers are eyeing Jonathan Kuminga as a potential offseason upgrade, but landing him won’t be easy. With no cap space and Kuminga seeking $15–20M annually, a sign-and-trade using the non-taxpayer mid-level exception—or even their trade exception from John Collins—is likely. Atlanta’s reluctant to let him go, so LA would need to package players like Jones Jr., Dunn, Lopez, or Jackson to make it work. While those assets vary in value, the Clippers must weigh whether paying top dollar for Kuminga’s upside is worth the risk—and whether they’re willing to sacrifice picks or prospects to make it happen.
