CLEVELAND – After the Cleveland Cavaliers missed out on another LeBron James Reunion Tour, they could turn their attention toward free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga.Cavs officials maintained contact with Kuminga and his Cleveland-based agent, Aaron Turner, throughout James’ free agency, and there is mutual interest, multiple league sources told The Athletic. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal team and player deliberations.Kuminga, 23, became a free agent after the Atlanta Hawks declined a $24.3 million option on his contract for next season. The five-year veteran averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and shot 33 percent from 3-point range in 36 games with the Hawks and Golden State Warriors last season.“Jonathan likes the Cavs, likes (coach) Kenny Atkinson, and (star) Donovan Mitchell likes him,” Turner, Kuminga’s agent, said in a brief interview. Turner said Kuminga is fond of Cleveland generally and spent two months training there last summer.What signing with the Sixers reveals about LeBron's mindsetEsfandiar BaraheniKuminga has a relationship with Atkinson from when the coach was an assistant under Steve Kerr at Golden State. While both sides confirmed interest, it is unclear which avenue the Cavs might take to acquire Kuminga if they decide on that path.As most NBA fans know, salary cap rules are confusing. Basically, Cleveland could comfortably offer Kuminga roughly $6 million this season — the same amount the Cavs would have likely given James. Theoretically, the Cavs could offer Kuminga $15 million under an exception to the salary cap, but doing so would greatly reduce the amount they could pay unsigned veteran star James Harden.
