Lakers Rumors: Eastern Conference Executive Would Give Talen Horton-Tucker Max Contract

The Los Angeles Lakers will have some difficult decisions to make this summer as they could have as many as 10 free agents and likely won’t be able to retain all of them.

Perhaps at the top of the list though will be 20-year-old restricted free agent Talen Horton-Tucker, who the organization has been high on since drafting him in the second round out of Iowa State in 2019.

Horton-Tucker’s two seasons with the Lakers have been filled with ups and downs, but the star potential remains, so much so that the organization was unwilling to part with him in trade talks for Kyle Lowry at the deadline this past season.
