Clippers are offering a 2nd for PJ Tucker, supposedly the Sun's want a first. If the Clippers trade a first for a half season rental of Tucker, it would just add to the continued front office ineptitude.
For a 2nd though, I'm cool.
For those who wanted Rudy Gay btw, he's out with a ruptured Achilles now, so that's over and done with.
IF we could get Tucker for a 2nd rounder that would be a steal and one of the better deals this FO has made He's having a off year, perfect time to buy low even for half a season.
I feel like we should trade Wes or Jamal for a pick and maybe package that pick with our 2nd for someone better.
Is anyone going to trade a draft pick just to have long term contracts?
Add Paul Pierce, we need to make a move if Doc want to stay in the top 8.
No team in their right mind would want either Jamal or Pierce. They're time has come and gone. Zero value.
Like Mo Speights, I never liked Tucker when the Clippers played against him. But adding Tucker to the team would be very nice- someone who defends, has some toughness and is a decent shooter.
He would be a good addition. I'm hoping that Doc WON'T overpay for him if he's really
determined to get him. I'm thinking 2nd round pick + Pierce. If it's more than that
(PP MUST BE INCLUDED!!!! 
), it's not a good deal IMO.
BTW what's our 1st round pick situation like? We don't have one this year if i'm not mistaken, but what about 2018 draft? do we still have that one?
We have one in 2018 then 2020 forward.
thanks.
Nice, exactly what we need, another one dimensional player that can't shoot to back up Luc another one dimensional player that can't shoot. I feel for Chris he's gonna have to do all the playmaking in the playoffs again....
Pj tucker.. yaaaaaaawn.. wake me up when you get serious doc.
There's no way, Phoenix gets a 1st round pick for PJ, he's falling off a cliff and he's 32yrs old. Doc should probably look at the 76'ers we need youth.
Ugh... if they will take Jamal I'm all for it
For a second rounder, not a bad pickup at all. As someone above me mentioned, a "steal".
Log jam at the PF position, but why not!
Doc does not develop youth, those picks are useless - especially with the team structure we have now. People, we are in WIN NOW mode. We are not where the 76ers are.
Mo, Bass, Tucker and Blake? Unless they are getting ready for packaging the other bigs for another piece... It may get interesting.
I like Tucker, and the price is right for a second rounder

Actually most of his career playing time has been spent at the SF position (65% @ SF, 29% @SG, 6% @ PF)...a position of need. And yes, it would be a "steal" for a second rounder.
SF.. PF.. no difference really. Manufactured positions to describe style of play... Not big enough to be a C and not mobile enough to be a wing/guard... so a "4".
That slot is filled with those players I mentioned, as he would not be replacing Wes/Luc/"3" position... I don't see it that way anyways... but who knows?
Doc I guess...
But again, would be a great addition.

He's a SF (6-6) unless Doc in his wisdom plays him out of position, LOL.

Yea... so... again a "4", call it whatever you want. Unless you are suggesting running him at the "3".
My point is he will play in the slot of the "forwards" - small, big, power, round, square, and anything in between.

My point is play him where he provides the best numbers the majority of the time and that's at the 3 or the 2....not the 4.
I'll drink to that!
Definitely do not see him at the 2. But as you said, "where he provides the best numbers"!
I see Tucker as a cross between Alan Anderson and Luc Mbah a Moute. He's a very tough defender that can guard multiple positions with a ton of attitude and a decent jump shot. He doesn't really solve any of our problems other than providing another very good defender which is always good to have. We'd still need a more versatile scoring option at the 3 in the future unless we're content with Austin running as a 3, and we bring in Tucker for anyone Lil Rivers can't can't guard.
I like the move, I don't love it, though I would love it for a 2nd round pick.

At one point, the Cavs had traded away five consecutive first-round picks, covering 1982 until 1985. The NBA thereafter instituted the "Stepien Rule," which states that a team (usually) cannot trade its first-round pick in consecutive years.
Glad to see the NBA did something to protect teams from terrible GM's
Pj tucker isn't very much better than Wesley Johnson. Wes may even be better. He's an undersized SF that's really fallen off and not even a good 3 point shooter. Better shooter than Luc but were better off just playing Wesley. Whatever though maybe he will have better chemistry with the starting unit? As long as it's not 1st rounder. It's nothing to get excited about, but at least we've come to the conclusion that a change at SF is desperately needed.
Yeah I still don't get why Wes isn't starting at the 3? Have Luc play the 4 while Blake is out. And even if we did make that trade, who do you guys think is getting cut?
Alan Anderson would get cut for sure. It's time for Melo.
It would be great if the could involve Jamal or PP in a trade, these guys just take minutes of players that might make some impact. If they stay in the team, Jamal will always play his 20-25min and PP will eventually do nothing as well.
I mean I like it for a second, but if you are going with a 1st then why not try for W. Chandler or Gallinari.
I would trade a 1st and Jamal for Chandler, maybe even throw Brice in too.
I could never understand people's fascination with Wes Johnson. He plays great defense at times but he's horrendous offensively outside of the corner 3. I don't think we can have 3 players with such severe offensive limitations in our starting line up (Luc, WeJo, DJ). Not to mention JJ is almost exclusively a shooter, though he does drive to the basket from time to time but lacks athleticism, court vision, handles.
I would trade a 1st and Jamal for Chandler, maybe even throw Brice in too.
A 1st and Jamal should be good enough for Chandler. Adding Brice should be good enough for Gallinari. Bringing in either of these guys would give us a starting lineup made entirely of glass (minus DJ) as both of them are injury prone. Gallo would definitely put us over the top, Chandler not so much...

Nobody in their right BB mine would want Jamal. He finished and he has 2 more years on that contract to be at no value. Plus Jamal is one of Doc's favorite toys, lol. He ain't going nowhere unfortunately.
My main confusion is where this supposed first round pick comes from, 2027 or something?
I guess if we have one Doc will give it up already lol! as far as i know Doc trade everything for the player that long gone.
