Darryl Morey is a creature of habit. He’s wanted PJ TucKer in a Sixers uniform for years and will try to do so again this off-season. Eric Gordon is another player he’s monitoring.
James Harden opting out creates some cap flexibility. But they are still looking to create more. – 5:28 PM

Heat summer/free agency guesses: Oladipo gone, Herro gets 4/110, Martin stays, Dedmon gone, Morris gone, UD returns … and despite tons of evidence to the contrary in recent days, PJ Tucker comes back. – 9:53 AM

Wouldn’t rule out PJ Tucker returning to Miami, but also wouldn’t discount the Sixers offer as just leverage. If they move Thybulle and Korkmaz into cap space (or an exception) they’ll have the space needed to offer PJ the MLE. They appear motivated to do that. – 8:55 AM

If Harden is opting in *and* PJ Tucker is getting 3/$30m, then There Will Be Trades. Period. – 4:45 PM

If the reports are true and Miami loses PJ Tucker due to overpaying, I’ll just say that’s a major loss heading into next year
They can pivot to a potential Barnes trade or something of that nature, but personally value what he brings very high
Maybe means something bigger otw – 4:45 PM

More on this storyline
According to a league source, Tucker also wants to make a Heat return happen if the money is equal but believes there will be teams willing to offer him a contract in the $30 million range over three years using the non-taxpayer midlevel exception. Tucker, like most players, is looking for the most guaranteed money possible at this late stage of his career. -via Miami Herald / June 29, 2022
Sources have said that Tucker’s decision is bigger than basketball. The North Carolina native could have a few business ventures he would like to take up in the Philadelphia area. And he’s also looking to get a third year in a contract and take home a nice payday to cap off his career. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / June 29, 2022
