Josh Richardson – San Antonio Spurs
Finding a team that is interested in Talen Horton-Tucker will be tough this offseason. It is possible that a rebuilding team like the Spurs could show a level of interest in him, but they will not be wanting to give up a lot for Talen Horton-Tucker.
As a result, veteran wing Josh Richardson could be an option for the Lakers in a trade involving Horton-Tucker this upcoming offseason.
Traded from the Celtics to the Spurs at the trade deadline this season, Richardson is in the midst of his 7th NBA season and has been floated around as a possible addition on the wing in the past for Los Angeles.
Known as a “3-and-D” type talent, Josh Richardson can guard many different positions defensively and has shot 36.1% from deep over the course of his career.

Making $12.1 million next season, the Spurs will likely look at trade options for the veteran in the offseason, as they would much rather continue giving playing time to young talents like Devin Vassell and Joshua Primo rather than Josh Richardson.
At the end of the day, the Lakers are not going to get a ton of value for Talen Horton-Tucker in the offseason, which is why a somewhat reliable wing like Josh Richardson could make sense for them.
