Report: Lakers, Raptors discussed Talen Horton-Tucker trade

The 2022 NBA trade deadline is in its final hours, and the Los Angeles Lakers are attempting a move after a terrible loss against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Only time will tell what will go down, but one player the Lakers could move on from is Talen Horton-Tucker. The third-year combo guard/wing hasn’t developed as the Lakers hoped. He’s averaging 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while his 3-point percentage is at 26.9%.

Reportedly, the Lakers have been shopping Horton-Tucker for a few weeks since his contract (around $10 million) is one of the few, feasible trade chips L.A. has.

It looks as if the Toronto Raptors have held talks with the Lakers for Horton-Tucker, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report:

The Raptors and Horton-Tucker were linked last season when L.A. wanted to trade for Kyle Lowry, but that deal fell through. This season, though, the Lakers have been linked to Raptors wing Gary Trent Jr. Let’s see what happens as the clock keeps ticking.

As Fischer wrote, nothing is serious right now. But it is the NBA, and anything can happen.
