Even if PJ Tucker were bought out, I'm skeptical if the Suns would have interest in him.


October 25th, 2024 at 5:04pm CST by Luke Adams, HoopsRumors:

The Sixers, Heat, Bucks, and Suns are among the teams that have spoken to P.J. Tucker‘s representation about a possible trade, sources tell Kelly Iko and Law Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link). As we relayed on Thursday, the Clippers have granted Tucker’s agent Andre Buck permission to talk to potential trade partners to try to find his client a new home, but the veteran forward’s $11.54MM cap hit will make it difficult to find a deal that works for L.A.

I think JJ would. He loves undersized 3 & D guys masquerading at PF. I don't think PJ has much to offer though and would rather the Suns pass.

I don't think Tucker has much left in the tank, so I would prefer they look for a PF elsewhere.

He’s not what we need.

Anyone have a heart?

We need to make Chuck Liddell the 15th man on the roster and Bud's enforcer. Dont listen, chat with the Iceman for a bit.

(using Liddell as a reference because he's one of the most well know UFC fighters)

Do you have any thoughts about an NBA player that fits this description who might be available?

I'd take Portis or Adams. I've always been a fan of Bobby Portis.

If we didn't get Grayson from Milwaukee, I'd wonder if they would swap Grayson for Portis. The Bucks need a SG who can shoot more than they need Portis off the bench since they have Brook and Giannis at C and PF. We also need a high energy PF/C to start more than we need Grayson off the bench. It could make sense for both teams. I believe a fair swap. Maybe 2nd round picks get included either way but it could help each team. Since Grayson was traded away though the odds of walking that back are much smaller than a typical trade.

I'd probably do the trade for Portis, but I haven't had a chance to examine the particulars of such a trade.
