Free Agent P.J. Tucker is signing a two-year, $15 million deal with the Miami Heat. The deal includes a player option in Year 2.
PJ Tucker
Tucker, 36, won the NBA Championship with Milwaukee this past season. However, his offensive stats were underwhelming. In 52 games, Tucker averaged 3.7 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 1.2 APG. But, on defense, Tucker played a huge role last season.
Overall, Tucker fills a need for the Heat as a defender at the four. In addition, Tucker’s versatility defensively gives the Heat much more options when it comes to the starting lineup.
