    If I remember correctly, wasn't Isaiah Taylor technically still on the roster when he got signed? He had #17 at that time.

    Obviously a tribute to Elie... (read more at linked article below)

    [Chron.com - April 28, 2018 - Jonathan Feigen] Mario Elie and P.J. Tucker: Role models and role players
    [...]
    Elie, an Orlando assistant coach, was getting Magic players ready for that night’s game. Tucker, a tough-minded Suns forward, had to share a word.

    “My coach told me to play just like you,” Tucker told Elie that night.

    “He was my comparison,” Tucker said on Friday. “They used to talk about who you can be like coming into the league. My comparison was Mario Elie.”
    [...]
    “That’s outstanding,” Elie, a lynchpin on the Rockets championship teams, said. “Me being a role player, being proud of being called a role player —everybody wants to be Jordan or Kobe (Bryant) or LeBron (James). For somebody to come up and say that, that’s big time. Big time.”

    That's possible.

    However...

    Otto Porter obviously can't wear #22 in Houston. So he will go to #4, as in 2+2. As such, PJT preemptively changed his jersey number.

    Read in a Stephen a smith voice:

    Now I’m not going to sit here and go off some long soliloquy, but I will say this. That 7 is superfluous max. It don’t belong there!

    PJ is just terrific. He is our 3rd most valuable player, because of his defense and consistency. He is 5 years older and gave up 2-3 inches against Draymond, and did just great against him.
