After the Los Angeles Lakers traded Talen Horton-Tucker to the Utah Jazz for Patrick Beverley, the NBA Twitterverse went nuts for one important tidbit: Pat Bev is going to be playing alongside Russell Westbrook. For those not in the know, Beverley and Westbrook had a longstanding beef that has spanned decades now. It started when […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are finally trading Talen Horton-Tucker, but not for a return that they would have expected 17 months ago.

The Los Angeles Lakers have made a trade! But not one involving Russell Westbrook. According to various reports, the Lakers will acquire veteran point guard Patrick Beverley from the Utah Jazz in exchange for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson. It’s a straight-up transaction— no draft picks are involved. THT + Johnson seems like a lot […]

Talen-Horton Tucker and his rise to fame is one of those feel-good stories that you love to hear. From being a 46th overall pick in the draft to extended stints in the NBA G League during his rookie year, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard has now made a name for himself as a relatively prominent member […]

Talen Horton-Tucker did not exactly take the big leap some folks were expecting him to last season in his third year with the Los Angeles Lakers. It was not an awful campaign for him, but there’s no denying that the Lakers will want to see more from the 6-foot-4 shooting guard in 2022-23. LeBron James […]

Los Angeles Lakers swingman Talen Horton-Tucker played in the Drew League on Sunday, and, well, it’s safe to say it didn’t turn out as well as he expected. In fact, it was a game to forget for the youngster. While his team Hometown Favorites won the contest, 81-67, THT didn’t have the best performance one […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed some solid, young players this offseason but are still looking to add more. One veteran that they have their eyes on is Patrick Beverley. The pesky defender was included in the Rudy Gobert trade and the Utah Jazz will likely reroute him to a different team. There is one […]

Russell Westbrook. That’s probably the first name you thought of when you clicked on this story. For the sake of full disclosure, Russell Westbrook will be included in this article. However, the declining point guard will also be the most difficult player to trade this offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers would need to design the […]

It’s no secret that the Lakers tried shopping Talen Horton-Tucker around during the February trade deadline this past season. Nothing came to fruition, though, and the 21-year-old still remains to be a Laker. It would not be surprising, however, if the front office once again explores the possibility of moving THT this summer. The Lakers […]

The Lakers need to make something happen this offseason. That much is clear. But the exact details of what they need to do are far from clear. Sure, the obvious answer is to trade Russell Westbrook. But that is much easier said than done given Westbrook’s declining skillset and loaded contract. But the Lakers don’t […]

LeBron James missed a lot of games for the Los Angeles Lakers this season due to injury. The four-time NBA champ sat out late in the season in what turned out to be one of the most important stretches of the campaign for the Lakers. LeBron eventually returned, but it was too little too late. […]

Talen Horton-Tucker let out all his frustrations on Thursday night. The Los Angeles Lakers guard balled out for a career high 40 points against the Golden State Warriors/ THT absolutely shattered his previous high of 28, skipping the 30s entirely for a 40-piece in one of the final Lakers games of the season. His 40 […]

Sooner or later, the Los Angeles Lakers will need to face the music. They just aren’t a very good team and the odds of them winning the title this season have been reduced to slim to none. They might be able to book their place in the playoffs via the Play-In game, but it’s now […]

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered yet another disappointing defeat on Monday as they lost to the Toronto Raptors at home, 114-103. The final scoreline is actually flattering for the Lakers, who were blown out by the Raptors here from the get-go. There was palpable tension within the Lakers for pretty much the entire game and […]

Let’s be honest. LeBron James hasn’t been getting much help from his Los Angeles Lakers teammates for pretty much the entire season. The King has virtually been left to do it all by himself but despite his strong play, the Lakers are still on a downward spiral. Be that as it may, LeBron recently revealed […]

Talen Horton Tucker has turned it on as of late. The Los Angles Lakers’ third-year man has apparently done so while battling a pretty significant injury. THT has scored 16.5 points in the Lakers’ last two contests, apparently doing so with a bum ankle. Horton-Tucker spoke out on powering through the pain. Via Harrison Faigen […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are in a brutal stretch right now. This team has lost all four games since returning from the All-Star break, which was recently compounded by their embarrassing loss to cross-town rivals, the Clippers, on Thursday, 132-111. The Lakers face another tough test on Saturday in Stephen Curry and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a horrendous season and will need to make moves in the 2022 offseason. Despite having a roster with three stars and some solid role players, Los Angeles sits in ninth place in the Western Conference. LeBron James has been the only consistent presence for the Lakers, but even he […]

There is one Los Angeles Lakers player who truly has something to prove over the final 24 games of the regular season. No, it’s not Russell Westbrook. Westbrook is facing a major opportunity to step up as Anthony Davis nurses a mid-foot sprain (he’ll be re-evaluated in four weeks). The Lakers will need Russ to […]

As the trade deadline draws near, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors are keeping themselves busy on the phone in hopes of striking a massive deal.

There have already been a number of blockbuster trades around the league, but at this point, the Los Angeles Lakers have remained quiet on that front. Be it a matter of choice or not, the fact remains that LeBron James and Co. have yet to land the player(s) they have been longing for as the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers will be one of the teams to closely watch as the NBA trade deadline looms.

The Lakers have been trying to shop around, looking for valuable pieces to add. But so […]

The Los Angeles Lakers would like to improve their struggling team before the February 10 trade deadline. Inconveniently, their two players with tradable contracts and on-court value—Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn—have each seen said value decline.

The Los Angeles Lakers have definitely not played their usual style of basketball this season, as they are in ninth place in the Western Conference with a record of 24-27. The Lakers have struggled this season for a variety of reasons, one of which is their inability to remain healthy. Although their health is not […]

The trade deadline is fast approaching and the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be one of the more active teams in the coming weeks. The main issue the Lakers have is that they do not possess too many trade assets at the moment. That is, of course, outside of 21-year-old guard Talen Horton-Tucker. The […]

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to stumble their way through the 2021-22 season. The Lakers are 23-24 on the season, which has them in eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

Detroit Pistons stud Jerami Grant has been on the radar of the Los Angeles Lakers for quite some time now. The general belief is that the 27-year-old forward could be the missing piece the Lakers need to turn their season around. He’s definitely not going to come for cheap, though, and it sounds like Detroit […]

It comes to no surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers are currently being linked to a handful of players from around the league as the trade deadline draws nearer. LA hasn’t exactly been the best team in the NBA during the first half of the season and at this point, it only makes sense that […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to have some interesting decisions to make at the NBA trade deadline. They don’t necessarily have a ton of options that they can’t move and get back a big return, Unfortanelty for them, most of their players are on small salaries and also are later in their careers. Not […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley just loves to annoy and get in the nerves of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. On Sunday, Pat Bev was back at it again, as he kept taunting LeBron, Talen Horton-Tucker and the whole Lakers with his rather “touchy” gestures. Fortunately, LeBron and Co. already know how to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have looked lost in their last four contests.

Talen Horton-Tucker was able to clear the COVID-19 protocols and return to the Los Angeles Lakers in time for their Tuesday showdown with the Phoenix Suns. However, THT was certainly not in the best condition. The Lakers fell to the Suns in a 108-90 blowout in Staples Center, and Horton-Tucker was non-impactful at all. While […]
