Rumor: Lakers contacted Kings about Buddy Hield for Talen Horton-Tucker swap

The Los Angeles Lakers have reached out to the Kings regarding a Buddy Hield for Talen Horton-Tucker swap according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.

“League sources have told me the Lakers have reached out to the Kings about a Horton-Tucker package for Hield,” Haynes said on his Posted Up podcast. “Obviously, the Kings are like ‘No, we feel like there’s more lucrative deals out there.’ The Kings are going to be active. They’ve got a whole bunch of people calling them.”

For salary matching purposes, Los Angeles would have to include another salary, likely Kendrick Nunn and a few of their minimum guys to make a deal like this work.
