PJ Tucker Finds A New Home

It was the move that had been expected for the past week, but a curve ball got thrown in earlier today about 5 teams in the running for PJ Tucker. In the end, the power forward has agreed to move from the Miami Heat to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Tucker has agreed to a 3-year, $33.2M contract with the Sixers, and will re-join his old Houston pals James Harden and Daryl Morey. 

Add in Danuel House, and, as reported by Tim McMahon, the Sixers become Houston-North.

Tucker added his usual brand of tough-nosed defense, and 3-point shooting to the Heat this past season, helping them to the No. 1 seed in the East. That's after he helped the Milwaukee Bucks to the title in 2021.
