PJ Tucker, Houston Rockets
PJ Tucker hasn’t gotten much publicity during the first few weeks of the 2020-21 NBA season and has been overshadowed by Houston’s superstar that has requested a trade from the team, but there’s a good chance that Tucker could find his way out of town sooner rather than later.
As long as James Harden is not engaged in Houston, the more I believe that this team could be headed for a big blowup by the NBA Trade Deadline. And it would be extremely surprising if PJ Tucker wasn’t part of the exodus.
On the cour, the Rockets are nothing more than average. Even with Harden playing, the Rockets are just 3-4 and have the feel of a team that is just trying to get through the season or just going through the motions at this point.
Maybe Tucker doesn’t get traded until Harden does, but this feels like a move that is a matter of “when” and not “if.”
