    Surprised we haven't done this dude a solid yet and released him or traded him. It's pretty sad seeing Tucker on this team right now.

    He looks horrible. I can’t understand why he’s playing so many minutes when he continues to play so poorly game after game

    Article also says Jerami Grant is on the market. I would actually try to get him in a three way with Gordon going to a third team. He fits the timeline with Wood and Tate. Would be a very fun team to watch.

    One thing that stood out last night when the game was over was how long PJ sat down post-game and how far away from everything he was with his head completely wrapped in a towel. Then his reaction when Harden came over to get him followed by Jeff Green and DJ. He looked kind of dejected at first if you look at his eyes and then he perked up. Almost like man you guys need to get me the hell out of here.

    The second video shows how long PJ was sitting over there alone. During the broadcast, I was honestly wondering where James was going when other guys like Mason Jones were trying to talk to him. Then you finally get to Tucker.

    Clutch out here breathing fire and scorching the Earth. He’s obviously tired of the BS

    Tucker’s not good enough to be a difference maker on this team. On an already good team, where more isn’t needed from him, he might be. It’s all about fit, and right now for Houston he’s not an ideal fit anymore.

    Despite how irrelevant and washed he looks on this team, I predict and feel confident that he will be regularly playing meaningful 4th quarter minutes for whatever team he goes to. He didn’t suddenly become an incompetent defender and incapable of making corner three pointers. He’s not comfortable out there and you can tell. Maybe he’s not getting the same opportunities or looks in the offense from our new guards or he’s not as invested because the team sucks and his contract situation, but PJ is going to play his ass off when he’s traded because he’ll be on a contender and he’ll be playing for what may be his last good contract in the NBA.

    Replace Andre Roberson with PJ for example. Major upgrade. Miami...instantly at worst, the 3rd best defender on the team. Philly...a defensive lineup with Embiid, Simmons and Tucker on the same page is scary.

    He never said he was on the market just that the Celtics wanted him

    Call up morey and tell him you got a deal with Crooklyn (https://tradenba.com/trades/ls7YJp3cT) but would give him the chance to beat it (https://tradenba.com/trades/mbbBjHZe8). I would bet neither team is interested in the other adding more talent since they are destined to meet in the ECF. I bet Philly would love PJ in KD the same way Brooklyn would like to out him in Harris.
