Could the Hawks get a first-round pick and pare down their center depth in exchange for taking on the PJ Tucker contract?
Although this is a rather uneventful time in the NBA calendar, there are always margin moves to be made that teams will employ in order to improve their depth or future outlook. While these moves often go under the radar at the time, their impact can be monumental in future years.
One of the quieter subplots of the offseason is the future of veteran forward P.J. Tucker. Tucker has made his interest in leaving the Clippers known. During an interview with Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints. Tucker had this to say about his viewpoint on his current role with Los Angeles: Unfortunately, there has been a lack of interest from teams in acquring Tucker. At 39 years old, he does not have the same athletic burst that made him one of the most valuable rotation players in basketball. He can still hit corner threes on occasion and compete on defense, but a salary of $11.5 million dollars exceeds his on-court impact. That being said, a team like Atlanta might have interest in his services.
Given Atlanta's desire for picks, LA's interest in offloading Tucker and Orlando's need for bench scoring, there is a deal to be made. What would that deal look like?
