PJ Tucker is no longer part of the Clippers' plans at all. Kept away from the team, the veteran strong winger was thus authorized to contact other clubs, in order to find a new base…
And according to Marc Steinseveral of his former teams (Heat, Bucks, Suns and Sixers) would be interested!
The problem is that at 39 years old and with an increasingly reduced offensive contribution, PJ Tucker cannot hope that these teams mount a transfer to recover his expiring contract of 11.5 million dollars.
If he really wants to leave Los Angeles, he will have to negotiate a buyout (and therefore leave a lot of money on the table) with the Clippers before committing for the minimum to Miami, Milwaukee, Phoenix or Philadelphia. How many millions of dollars will PJ Tucker be willing to leave to the Clippers in order to break his contract and sign elsewhere? And above all, will this really allow him to get a real role in another team?
As a reminder, PJ Tucker played five seasons in Phoenix, between 2012 and 2017. He also played in Milwaukee, winning the title there in 2021, before heading to Miami and then to Philadelphia.
