PJ Tucker mentioned in James Harden trade talks to Clippers
PJ Tucker, Harden’s longtime teammate with the Rockets and Sixers, has come up in trade discussions between the 76ers and Clippers, league sources told HoopsHype. The Clippers covet Tucker’s ability to guard multiple positions and defend the league’s top opposing scorers. Tucker is owed $11 million this upcoming season and has a $11.54 million player option for the 2024-25 season.

More on this storyline
Erin Grugan: James Harden on Instagram #Sixers -via Twitter / July 20, 2023
Harden has now requested a trade from the Sixers, and in the event Harden is not traded and then refuses to report to camp, different rules would apply to him because he is in the final year of his contract, league sources told ESPN. A separate clause in the CBA — which existed in prior versions of the agreement — holds that any player who “withholds playing services for more than 30 days after the start of the last season covered by his contract” could be deemed to have violated his contract and prohibited from entering free agency or signing with “any other professional basketball team unless and until the team with which the player last played expressly agrees otherwise.” -via ESPN / July 20, 2023
The Clippers, as we reported in late June, were putting in the groundwork on the Harden situation prior to the reveal that he wanted out of Philadelphia. Conversations between the two teams took place prior to the opening of free agency, sources say, though at that time it was tough to understand why. The Clippers have continued to feature prominently in the Harden story this offseason, though as Fischer notes in his story, the strength of their offer(s) have not been close to the valuation Philly has in mind for Harden. -via Philly Voice / July 19, 2023
Clemente Almanza: Keyontae Johnson said his favorite players growing up were Kawhi Leonard, DeMar DeRozan and PJ Tucker -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / June 24, 2023
Ben Rohrbach: The NBA’s L2M from Celtics-Sixers has 1 incorrect call from the final 5 minutes of regulation and OT of Sixers-Celtics G4: A 3 seconds against Tucker before Smart missed a 3. Again, this is not to say the refs decided the game, but for Doc to go in on Tatum like that is bogus. -via Twitter @brohrbach / May 8, 2023
Rich Hoffman: Doc Rivers sent James Harden a gospel song while driving to the game. “I told my homies, ‘Let’s play the song.’ I let the whole song play. And I’m like, ‘Aright there’s gotta be some kind of good juju in this song.’ I guess it worked.” P.J. Tucker: “You better play it again.” pic.twitter.com/MfIN6d0fzE -via Twitter @rich_hofmann / May 7, 2023
