Beijing time on June 29, according to US media reports, the 76ers will sign PJ Tucker with a three-year, US$30 million contract, and the latter is interested in joining.
After the 37-year-old Tucker joins the 76ers, this is likely to be the last contract of his career. Tucker will be 40 years old by then. It is perfect and sufficient to get such a decent contract at the end of his career. It reflects the 76ers' respect for Tucker.
Tucker's acquisition is also an effective complement to Danny Green after Danny Green was traded. Tucker and Green are both 3D players. If it weren't for Danny Green's major injury, the 76ers would not have chosen to trade him. After all, the two have almost the same role.
According to 76ers team reporter Keith Pompey, sources revealed that Harden will first choose to exercise his 47.36 million player option for next season, and then renew his contract with the 76ers for two years in advance at a price lower than the maximum salary. Harden's decision was not difficult at all and was expected. With Harden's current status, the 76ers are unlikely to offer Harden a maximum-salary contract extension again.
Harden will cooperate with Tucker again by then, and Tucker will bring toughness to the 76ers. I wonder if Tucker's toughness can awaken the weak Harden. The cooperation between the two during the Rockets period was perfect. Tucker's defense and three-pointers from the corner left a deep impression on everyone. Will such a scene happen again with the 76ers?
Not only Harden welcomed Tucker's arrival, but the team's core insider Embiid also welcomed Tucker's arrival on social media. It seems that Tucker's arrival has been welcomed by the whole team. Then again, who doesn't like a teammate who doesn't occupy the ball and shoots every chance he gets, and does all the dirty work?
