The 2 teams most interested in signing PJ Tucker
The veteran power forward has been removed from the Clippers and is expected to leave the franchise shortly, despite his high salary.
A problem with a difficult solution. That's what PJ Tucker has become for the Los Angeles Clippers, after seeing his role on the team diminish over time despite his great reputation in the NBA as a top defender and rebounder. At 39, he wants to keep playing, and being sidelined by the L.A. franchise means facing the exit door.
The significant reputation PJ Tucker gained in previous years has led to salary concerns as it far exceeds his contributions in the past two seasons. This year, the player is earning 11.5 million dollars, a sum that doesn't favor investing in a 39-year-old player who has had off-court issues. However, being waived by the Clippers opens up the possibility of landing on another team without any compensation required, maybe even benefiting from a reduction in his contract.
Rumors in the NBA are already circulating about a strong interest from the Indiana Pacers, which makes sense given the team's defensive and rebounding needs. Any player who can assist in these areas would be welcomed by a team that needs to improve in these aspects without compromising offensive fluidity. There's also talk of the Milwaukee Bucks potentially re-signing a player who played a crucial role in their recent successes.
