Kuminga’s Exit and Hawks’ Next Move | Golden State Warriors News
Description
Atlanta Hawks are moving on from Jonathan Kuminga, sealing his exit by giving Lu Dort his jersey number — a clear signal after declining his team option. The saga began when they traded Kristaps Porzingis for Kuminga and Buddy Hield in February; despite playoff flashes, Atlanta’s patience ran out. Now an unrestricted free agent seeking ~$20M/year, Kuminga faces a tough market with limited cap space, pushing sign-and-trade talks with the Lakers and Cavs — but those teams may not be willing to part with what Atlanta wants. Expect Kuminga to take a one-year deal or minimum contract to prove himself and re-enter free agency next summer with more options. Meanwhile, the Hawks locked in Hield for potential future trades, while Porzingis signed a new Warriors deal with most money unguaranteed — a savvy move that could reshape the roster.
