Multiple league sources say P.J. Tucker will choose the Sixers’ three-year, $30 million offer over opportunities to remain in Miami or go back to Milwaukee after free agency begins at 6 p.m. Thursday.
The same can be said about the Miami Heat, his current team. The spot where the gritty power forward has had the most success, however, is the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks acquired Tucker on March 19, 2021, and he turned out to be the missing piece to propel their 2021 NBA championship team.
Sources believe Harden will sign a two-year extension for a little less than the maximum after picking up that option. But if Harden picks up his player option, the Sixers will have $151.7 million in salary tied up with 13 players. And this is where things get tricky.Sixers free agency story lines: James Harden’s future, Tobias Harris’ trade potential, and more
The Sixers could send Melton to a team that would take in his salary without sending a player back to create the space needed to acquire Tucker. They just wouldn’t be able to aggregate his salary along with another player to make the deal work. However, it wouldn’t make sense to get rid of the three-and-d player who provides what they need.
