As he did not play the season, we had forgotten it but Pj tucker was still in the clippers workforce after activating his “Player option” at 11.5 million dollars for this 2024/25 season.
Nevertheless, Los Angeles did not count on him and the winger was very much looking for a new team for long months. Except that at 39 years old and while his contribution was a fame in recent years, no one was really interested.
He therefore joined Utah, in the company of Mo Bambaa second round of draft and cash, Announcement thus ESPN. In exchange, the Clippers recover Drew Eubanks And Patty Mills.
A good financial operation for the Clippers
For Los Angeles, the exchange allows you to pass under the “Luxury Tax” and therefore recover a little flexibility when approaching the “Trade Deadline”. With a margin of four million dollars compared to the punitive limit, the Steve Ballmer club can also potentially recover players cut by other teams. Not to mention that this exchange also made it possible to create two “trade exceptions” (2.1 and 6.5 million dollars).
On the side of Utah, the interest is more vague, if not another second Tour de Draft and perhaps the possibility of developing Mo Bamba, whose potential has so far never been able express.
As for PJ Tucker, he should logically quickly negotiate a “Buyout” with jazz, which has become an operation specialist, in order to free himself from his contract and be able to sign with a title candidate in stride …
