Atlanta has recently expressed interest in Peyton Watson, but acquiring him wo
uld require a sign-and-trade.
‧ Denver is reportedly seeking compensation similar to Utah’s return in the
Walker Kessler sign-and-trade, a price Atlanta has considered too high for Wat
son.
‧ Kuminga and his representatives have discussed a potential Lakers role alon
gside Luka Doncic, but Atlanta is seeking more than Los Angeles has offered.
‧ The Lakers reportedly hope to package Jarred Vanderbilt and their lone trad
able 2032 first-round pick swap for Kuminga, but Atlanta is unwilling to take
back Vanderbilt.
‧ The Lakers could redirect Vanderbilt to a third team to create a stronger o
ffer for Kuminga.
‧ If Kuminga leaves Atlanta, a sign-and-trade remains the most likely pathway
.

老鷹對Watson有興趣，願意簽換
但金塊要求Kessler等級的簽換籌碼，這個報價對老鷹來說太高了
Kuminga陣營確實商討過跟Doncic並肩作戰的可能性，但老鷹要的籌碼大過湖人可以給的
湖人給的報價是Vanderbilt+2032交換
老鷹沒有興趣，不想收Vanderbilt
湖人可能會嘗試把Vanderbilt扔去第三隊來看看能不能創造更好的報價給Kuminga
如果Kuminga離開老鷹，還是更可能透過簽換
另外有補充
While Kuminga would naturally be hoping for a richer deal than that, I'm told
that the 23-year-old scorer is indeed open to various contract structures belo
w his 2025-26 season salary of $22.5 million depending on what sort of sign-an
d-trade scenarios materialize from known suitors such as the Lakers and Cavali
ers.
Kuminga陣營當然會希望拿到更好的合約
但也對拿低於今年薪水的22.5M合約的想法持開放態度，這還是取決於追求他的球隊可以
給什麼方案
其實就跟我想的一樣，他是拿一個基本報價去抬價格，看看有沒有人可以給他
但真的沒有還是只能回去撿本來給他的報價
所以還是要看有沒有要給他吧
擠不出來就回老鷹吧，球隊歡迎你- -可能是不能提供先發，但老鷹真的算適合他的隊伍
了
