NBA Market: Talen Horton-Tucker will play for the Chicago Bulls
Having declined since signing his extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, which he never deserved, he seeks to turn his career around in the Windy City
NBA Market: Talen Horton-Tucker will play for the Chicago Bulls in the 2024/25 NBA season. As Shams Charania revealed in The Athletic, the former prospect of Los Angeles Lakers not long ago, wants to have another opportunity to succeed in the league now in the Eastern Conference.
At just 23 years old, he already has 3 years as a Laker with a secondary role that remained there although he was important in winning the 2020 championship. His best individual year was with the Utah Jazz in 22/23 averaging 10.7 points and 3.8 assists, although with a poor 28.6% in three-pointers. Last year, he had very similar numbers, also scoring 10 points per game, somewhat improving his three-point shooting to 33 percent, still very low for a player who was expected to do more.
New Opportunity
We don't know how much he'll earn, but it will surely be much less than the 30 million he accumulated in his last three seasons between the Lakers and Jazz in that "stolen" contract from the Lakers when his performance was expected to be better than it ended up being. We will see if he can show his best level with the Bulls, although given what we've seen in the Chicago team in recent years, it doesn't seem like the best landing spot.
