What is this PJOF "Trade PJ Tucker to a contender because he deserves a ring" BS? If you're gonna trade him, then trade him to anybody giving the best offer, even if it's not a contender. Rockets first.
We may be holding Tucker until he can be added to an Oladipo trade to a contender. That's a nice little package to try and entice a team to give us assets so they can make a run.
Woj: Heat, Lakers, Bucks, Nets, others interested in PJ Tucker. There’s a lot of interest among contenders. Houston wants back not picks but a player they can plug back into their lineup.
Noway Philly does this. Thybulle is younger and probably just as good as defender as Tucker if not better. Makes no sense
Tucker can start and can defend 1-5 unlike Thybulle who can defend 1-3. And Tucker is elite at corner 3. Tucker only makes sense for championship or bust teams THIS season.
Thybulle is younger with a ton of more upside. Better on ball defender to. Embiid and Simmons are not old. They’re title window is not closing.
Like I said, Tucker is most valuable to teams who are championship or bust THIS season. Next season is no guarantee, we Rockets fans know that better than anyone. And 76ers are loaded with young players under 24 like Milton, Maxey, Reed, Joe, Korkmaz, Fergusan, Poirer as well as Thybulle. None of these players including Thybulle are starters.
Rockets need to move Tuck, because at this stage of the rebuild there is no need for Tuck at his age.
Do not trade him to the Lakers, do not do not do not. NO NO NO NO NO. They have nothing to offer. Plus I hate them. Screw them, do no help them. It would sicken me to my core to ever have to watch Tucker play for them.
