Los Angeles is looking to make an even deeper playoff run after falling short of its championship aspirations last season.The Lakers have been in full pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga for the last two months, but nothing has come to fruition. However, one positive development for Los Angeles is that the former NBA champion has reportedly shut down minimum-salary offers from other teams.Jonathan Kuminga is not willing to sign with any team on a one-year prove-it deal at the veterans minimum. The Kings and Timberwolves recently expressed interest in Kuminga, but the minimum salary made negotiations a no-go. The Lakers remain the favorites to acquire Kuminga, NBA reporter Evan Sidery posted.The Lakers have also shown interest in four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson. Los Angeles would have to trade for him as well, but Thompson is reportedly open to returning to the city where he spent part of his childhood.My understanding is that Thompson would welcome a return to Los Angeles, where he spent part of his childhood and still owns a home. The Miami Heat are another team frequently mentioned in NBA circles as a potential landing spot for the future Hall of Famer, The Athletics Christian Clark wrote.Los Angeles could potentially land both players in one blockbuster three-team deal.

Hawks would receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, 2032 first-round pick swap (via LAL), Mohan wrote.The Lakers would be giving up several contracts they have reportedly been looking to move throughout the summer. In return, they would land two former Golden State Warriors champions who could immediately add significant talent to the roster.Kuminga and Thompson have made a combined $346 million throughout their careers.
