Free-agent guard talks stall for Lakers.

What happened: Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported the Lakers are not offering Jonathan Kuminga the contract terms he is seeking, and that the team has no other trade targets currently identified. The report reiterates a stance the pair had previously described.

Why it matters: The impasse extends a stretch of sign-and-trade talks between the Lakers and Hawks over Kuminga without a resolution. With no alternate targets named, the Lakers' wing search remains unresolved heading into the offseason.

What to watch: Watch for movement in Lakers-Hawks sign-and-trade talks or a shift in Kuminga's asking price as the offseason progresses.
