    Good to know that a players performce in the last series should be how you judge them for the entirety of their remaining career.
    It was a mistake giving harden any kind of contract after his performance in the playoffs with the thunder. Bum should have been out of the league.

    A SRP will be the max that the Rockets can get for PJ. It will be either that, or a buyout.

    Yeah PJ screwed over Houston with the way he has played this year not to mention his age. He's an expiring contract but not that much $$$.

    It wasn't even just that series though, that entire playoff run he was scoring 8 points a game on 28% 3 point shooting while playing no defense whatsoever. He was flat out garbage....yet he still gets hyped as the key to the entire team by those who desperately want to blame ownership rather than those who actually destroyed the team.

    There's not much he could do about it, at this point he's an outright terrible basketball player.

    He is a system player who is playing in a system that is not conducive to the way he can play. Dramond for example was nowhere near as valuable last year.

    What system would make the worst offensive player in the league look good?

    He can't shoot, he can't handle the ball, he's not a passer.....he's just a guy who stands in the corner shooting bricks or turning the ball over if you are foolish enough to give him the ball.

    There's no system that can do anything with the rotting corpse of what was once PJ Tucker. When you can't handle the "just stand in the corner and shoot if we give you the ball" role, what can you handle?

    Rockets might be able to trade Tucker for Spencer Dinwiddie

    PJ was smart to just stay at home

    Tonight PJ Tucker gave the team a better performance than they are used to from him this season by not being a major net negative on the court.

    The Rockets "remain engaged" with the Lakers, Heat and Bucks in P.J. Tucker trade talks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
    Houston's asking price of a "young talented player" is the road block right now, as teams may be reluctant to give up much for a 35-year-old veteran on an expiring deal who has struggled with his shot all season. Shams notes that the Nets were previously interested in Tucker, but backed off after signing Blake Griffin.

    If Rox really want that young talented player, I only see some in the Heat's roster, then throw in one of the willy wonka tickets.
    Talen Tucker? Nah. Divicenzo? I don't think so. That leaves the Heat... I'm not even going to say his name.

    Unless they are giving up THT or Kuzma lol....the Lakers can kick rocks and even then I would still be disgusted with that trade beyond belief.

    The Nets are out after the Rockets asked for Dinwiddie. I don’t blame the Nets
