Beijing time on June 29th, NBAThe free market will open soon. The 76ers have already gained something and are expected to sign PJ Tucker. The 76ers showed the greatest sincerity, and the three-year, $30 million contract was really difficult for Tucker to refuse. Philadelphia team reporter Keith Pompey reported that Tucker is expected to accept a three-year, $30 million offer from the 76ers.
Tucker announced his decision early and will not execute the player option worth $7.4 million next season. For Tucker, this is a very easy decision to make. He is 37 years old and will be his last chance to get a good contract. He played for the Heat this season and performed very well, especially in the playoffs. I believe that the 76ers are very aware of his tough performance. Among them, the core of the 76ers Embiid is very supportive of the team. Pursue Tucker.
After Tucker jumped out of his contract, he also attracted the attention of many teams, including the Nets . His relationship with Durant is very good, but they can only offer 20 million US dollars in three years at most. contract, which also loses its competitiveness. Due to the sincerity of the 76ers and the presence of Harden , Tucker is still very happy to come to Philadelphia. When he and Tucker were playing for the Rockets, they almost reached the Finals. If the two teamed up in Philadelphia, it would be a good situation.
For the 76ers, they are also desperate and want to continue to attack the championship, just like when they formed the combination of Embiid + Simmons + Harris + Horford . Tucker can bring mental attributes and can inspire players' fighting spirit at critical moments. This is what the 76ers need very much. Neither Embiid nor Harden has this. Signing Tucker is not the end of it. The 76ers may have to make changes. Harris and Thybulle may become bargaining chips and may be traded away. The 76ers are paying attention to the Rockets' Gordon , and want to improve the strength of the second team in order to give more support to the main players.
