Whether you like PJ or not, he does so much more than we realize. Between practices, plane rides and the locker room, he's one of those glue guys. I love the deal personally. I think we got him for a great price too.

I agree with you on a lot of things but in the case may want to keep the talent analysis to football he is a solid but unspectacular NBA. Every team needs these guys.

Yeah. You need players like tucker as your 9th or 10th guy. Not as a starter.

well in today's NBA 5 mil is what bench guys make so it's not like they paid him starter money. Hope Warren steals his job at some point in the next couple years.

Honestly, it's the fastbreaks that make me dislike him so much. It's worse than watching a WNBA fast break, instead of a layup at the other end there's PJ... Taking another ill-advised drive, floater, pull-up, 3. Bleh....

I agree he shouldnt be a long term starter but he is a good guy for the young guys to learn from and a good leader. I do however think he makes a good 6th man, and his contract will allow for that after this year when I think Warren takes the starting small forward spot.

I think someone said we could then get him from Minnesota for Dragic or something, who could also leave them in a year. There are very few people in the entire league Wiggins would be traded for.

I don't even think Cleveland would trade him for Love (even if Love said he would stay long term) if they don't get LeBron.

I don't hate it - its not bad money

I was thinking something like 3 for 12. So this is a bit more than that. But its not the MLE - which was 4 for 23

I liked PJ
Though I do think his skillset is a bit over-rated

But if Deng and Ariza and the other SFs were wanting 10m - I am good with this

All we need is Love .... bop bop badda da

Got a feeling our limit for Bled is the Lowery deal... And options are swirling
I can imagine we have already informally offered it up and Bled and Co have decided to test the market

Dr Manute · Post #1772 » by **Dr Manute** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:47 pm

To Do List:

1. Bledsoe - ?
2. Starting PF (to replace Frye) - Markief?
3. Starting SF - Tucker - check

Good - one down, two more to check-off.

I'm glad ur glad. I've been watching basketball for 30 plus years. Seen 100 Tucker's come and go. My retort to you is, he does less than you realize. He is a poor mans SF version of Bo Outlaw.

Moot point.

I have to suffer for three more years of this guy and I have no choice.

The best fit for Thomas would be the Lakers because he'll be the starting PG but if he comes to PHX he'll be our 6 th man because I cant see us trading Bledsoe or Dragic.

Blackification · Post #1775 » by **Blackification** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:48 pm

Tucker is the best defender on this team, one of the best rebounding sfs in the league, hits the three respectively, plays his ass off every game. And people act like he is the biggest problem on the team. There are no great teams without guys like tucker. Love the deal and love that the management is smart enough to realize all this and bring him back. Good job McD

Thomas depends on other things in the works. The third guard thing? LOL.

Key free agents are not interested in the Suns. No Gasol. No Deng. I'm telling you -- players /hate/ Sarver. He made such an ass of himself during the lockout with his anti-player agenda we will have a hard time getting FA's to sign that are big names because of it.

lol. I love how he's upside down now.

Saberestar · Post #1777 » by **Saberestar** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:48 pm

Fair contract for both sides, P.J. Tucker it was a MUST for the team because we do not have Frye now, and they were our true captains.
I love this contract, 3 years is perfect at his age, and P.J. will earn less than Jodie Meeks and around the same than Greivis Vasquez.

Suns players are loving the signing on Twitter...big chemistry guy. Losing him and Channing wouldn't have been good for the locker room.

Nice. You can say one thing. Dude's not scared to take big shots.

Here is a comparison between him and Bledsoe
