NBA Trade Deadline bold predictions: The Phoenix Suns will acquire PJ Tucker
The Phoenix Suns have been one of the most pleasantly surprising teams in the Western Conference this season, in large part due to the arrival of Chris Paul. He’s made a huge difference for this team and has helped take this team to the next level in the Western Conference hierarchy.
I’m not sure if the Suns are as good as their second-seed ranking but this is clearly a team that will be dangerous in the second half of the season and into the playoffs. Devin Booker has continued to improve as an individual player and team leader and it would be smart for the team to add to its depth ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline.
Acquiring PJ Tucker would be a safe and smart move for the team. He’s a cheap option that could provide a great reward for the team if he pans out as a midseason acquisition. He’s tough, has playoff experience, and would add a versatile defender to their rotation.
