Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks Complete Big Trade
The Milwaukee Bucks are loading up for their playoff run and it's begun with a trade with the Houston Rockets for PJ Tucker. Here's the full details from the Woj Bomber himself:
Sources: Houston is trading PJ Tucker, Rodions Kurucs and Bucks’ 2022 first-round pick back to Milwaukee for DJ Augustin, DJ Wilson and 2023 unprotected first-round pick. Houston also gets right to swap its 2021 second-round pick for Milwaukee's FRP pick unless it falls 1-9.

Tucker is the big piece here as he's a beast, able to guard multiple positions and is a great teammate. The Bucks are sick and tired of getting put out easily in the playoffs and Tucker should help toughen them up.

Tucker and the Rockets mutually agreed it was best for him to move on and now he get's his wish to join a title contender. So far this season in 33 games, the 35-year-old has averaged 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He brings much much more than what can be kept on the statssheet.
Huge pickup for the Bucks!
