Talen Horton-Tucker started his career as a valuable asset to a contending Lakers team, but they couldn’t afford to keep him. Horton-Tucker then landed on an up-and-coming Jazz team. I didn’t love the fit for him in Utah, as the Jazz will be happy to shuffle players until they find the stars they need. Horton-Tucker is a free agent waiting for his next deal. He is in a tough spot: not likely to be a star and not experienced enough for a contender to love the idea of filling out their roster with him. I’m sure there is a general manager who wants him at some stage. He’s been great on a contending Clippers or 76ers team for instance. 8/30/2024
