Episode How (Yet Another) Dennis Schröder Trade Impacts Jonathan Kuminga and the Lakers
For the nine zillionth time since turning down a long-term deal with the Lakers, veteran guard Dennis Schröder is on the move, this time from Cleveland to Charlotte.
The motivation for the Cavs is relatively simple - free up money to get James Harden resigned, and then try to add another player. Reportedly, that could be Peyton Watson (restricted FA, Denver) or Jonathan Kuminga, who has been rumored to be on the Lakers radar for so long at this point, it's reasonable to wonder if the radar is even working properly. But with this news comes a fresh round of Kuminga-or-not-to-Kuminga, because that, ultimately, is the question.
And when you start breaking down how a deal with Kuminga would have to look financially for the Lakers (this is before trying to figure out whether or not you could even make the trade to get him here), it's reasonable to wonder if this is a good idea.
Meanwhile, the dust continues to settle around the agreed upon sale of the Lakers from Mark Walter to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger (and a bunch of other rich folks, TBD).
We walk through two of the biggest concerns about Kushner:
• That he's a VC guy, and will be motivated primarily by bottom line issues and therefore won't be willing to spend to win. • That he's just not rich enough to compete with richer owners.
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Reluctantly, back into the Kuminga waters.
SEGMENT 2: Why it's just a dicey idea.
SEGMENT 3: Is Kushner rich enough? Is the VC thing a problem?
