Леброн Жэймс хаана тоглох нь тодорхойгүй байгаа нь НБА-гийн багуудын наймааны үйл ажиллагаанд нөлөөлж байна.
Леброн Жэймс ирэх улиралд аль багт хүчин зүтгэх нь тодорхойгүй байгаа энэ үед лигийн багууд томоохон шийдвэр гаргахаа түр азнаад байна. Энэхүү хүлээлтийн байдал нь Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс-ын жигүүрийн тоглогч Жонатан Кумингагийн ирээдүйд шууд нөлөөлж эхэлжээ.
Лос-Анжелес Лэйкерс зургаадугаар сарын сүүлээс хойш Кумингаг сонирхож байсан ч одоогоор яриа хэлэлцээ зогсонги байдалд орсон байна. Лэйкерс-ийн зүгээс драфтын эрхээ ашиглан тоглогч солилцоо хийхэд төдийлөн идэвхгүй хандаж байгаа аж.
Хэрэв Лэйкерс-ийн сонирхол буурвал Кливлэнд Кавальерс уг тоглогчийг элсүүлэхээр идэвхтэй ажиллаж байна. Кавальерс нь жигүүрийн байрлалаа сайжруулахыг зорьж байгаа бөгөөд Леброн Жэймсийг эгнээндээ нэгтгэх боломж багассан тохиолдолд Кумингаг хоёр дахь хувилбар болгон харж байна.
Куминга нь ирээдүйтэй тоглогчийн хувьд боломжийн үнээр багтаа элсүүлэх боломжтой сонголт юм. Түүнчлэн Кливлэнд Кавальерс-ын ахлах дасгалжуулагч Кенни Аткинсон нь Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс-д хамт ажиллаж байсан туршлагатай тул тоглогчийн онцлогийг сайн мэдэх давуу талтай.

It is not breaking news to say that the LeBron James watch, as it is about to enter week three, has all the eyes and ears of the league. A subplot of LeBron’s latest destination decision is that teams around the league are placing a pause on their decisions until this is all sorted out. One of those players who appears to be impacted is fellow wing Jonathan Kuminga.
In an article written by The Athletic’s Dan Woike, Kuminga has garnered interest from the Los Angeles Lakers since late June. However, “it appears that momentum has stalled with the sides”, with Woike noting that the Lakers aren’t “overly motivated to push the significant draft capital into sign-and-trade scenarios.”
It appears that the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking hard into the services of Kuminga if the Lakers interest dissipates. “According to league sources, (Cleveland) is the team most-often connected to Kuminga other than the Lakers,” Woike noted.

This makes sense as the Cavaliers appear to be looking to upgrade their wing rotation. Obviously, they have been a prominent name in the LeBron James sweepstakes; Kuminga appears to be their second pathway to ensuring there is an influx of talent.
Kuminga could be a necessary gamble for the Cavaliers. His talent has not necessarily translated to someone who projects as a difference-making wing. What Kuminga does offer is an upside play on potentially a cheaper deal than most younger wings his age. It is also good to note that Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has a prior relationship with Kuminga from their shared time on the Golden State Warriors together.
It appears that there could be more movement on the free agent front once teams and players have an idea of where the King will preside this upcoming season. The NBA’s silly season never ends, and neither does the league’s intrigue about LeBron James.
