Gilbert Arenas Criticizes Jonathan Kuminga's Timberwolves Contract
The former guard questioned Kuminga's career strategy after passing on a more lucrative Lakers opportunity for a modest deal in Minnesota.
Gilbert Arenas has questioned Jonathan Kuminga's decision-making after the forward opted for a team-friendly contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves instead of a significantly higher offer from the Los Angeles Lakers.
As reported by TalkBasket, Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with Minnesota on Wednesday. The agreement ended months of interest from the Lakers, who reportedly had a sign-and-trade framework ready that would have paid Kuminga more than $12 million per season.
Arenas targeted Kuminga's career approach for accepting the lower-value Minnesota package rather than pursuing the more lucrative option in Los Angeles.
