The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga. It's an unexpected development that seemingly stems from the team's desire to add athletic wings who can defend at a high level.

Though Kuminga has gotten the short end of the proverbial stick with the Warriors, the Lakers must avoid trading for him at all costs.

Kuminga, 23, has never truly been empowered to explore his potential during his five seasons with Golden State. It's a disconcerting truth that has unfortunately failed to overshadow the importance of fit in regard to which team might take a chance on his untapped potential.
