Jonathan Kuminga Updated Landing Spots After Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan Contracts

The market for free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga might have become clearer now that Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan have reportedly landed with their next teams.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers remain top potential landing spots for Kuminga after Thompson and DeRozan reportedly committed to the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets, respectively.

Kuminga is currently an unrestricted free agent after the Atlanta Hawks declined his team option. NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer previously reported the Hawks are expected to be "pretty choosy" with any potential sign-and-trade scenarios involving Kuminga.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported Friday the Miami Heat are expected to sign Thompson after he clears waivers following a buyout by the Dallas Mavericks.

That will put the Heat on track to use most of the team's remaining midlevel exception to sign Thompson, per the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang.

NBA insider Chris Haynes reported later the same day the Denver Nuggets are signing DeRozan.

Some other potential landing spots for Kuminga had already taken themselves out of the running with acquisitions earlier this offseason.

The Cleveland Cavaliers approached the first luxury tax apron by signing Peyton Watson and James Harden, while the Hawks spent the offseason adding former Oklahoma City Thunder players Aaron Wiggins and Lu Dort.

The Timberwolves remain a potential landing spot for Kuminga, in whom HoopsHype's Michael Scotto recently reported the team had "expressed interest" after missing out on signing LeBron James.

The Wolves have "their starting power forward spot up for grabs and their $6.06 million taxpayer mid-level exception available for the taking," Scotto noted.

The Athletic's Dan Woike previously reported the Lakers had expressed interest in Kuminga, but that as of July "momentum has stalled with the sides far apart on terms and L.A. not overly motivated to push significant draft capital into sign-and-trade scenarios."

Woike noted Kuminga "could re-emerge as a target if his market remains tepid."

ESPN's Brian Windhorst said in Friday's episode of The Hoop Collective podcast he feels there is "still a window" for the Lakers to complete a sign-and-trade deal featuring Kuminga and Lakers guard Jaden Hardy.

With the final NBA roster spots filling up, teams have about two months left to complete any late offseason moves before Opening Day rosters are finalized Oct. 19.
