Raptors Waive PJ Tucker 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Feb 28, 2025 7:07 pm

The Toronto Raptors have waived PJ Tucker. Tucker was traded by the Los Angeles Clippers to the Utah Jazz ahead of the deadline and then again to the Raptors on deadline day.


Last season, Tucker didn't pay from November until February for the Clippers and had been away from the team all this season. Tucker turns 40 in May and will be playoff eligible on the buyout market.

Would you take the over or under on another team picking him up?

Can you think of a team that will give him more minutes than he would have gotten in LAC while Kawhi was out?
Maybe MIL would give him 10-15 while Portis is out?

I can't imagine being a career journeyman in my late 30's and refusing to play a limited role with an NBA team. I guess it's a tough call... spot NBA minutes or a starting spot at the Y... which to choose!? :crazy:

I wouldn’t pay to play ball in these arenas either - it’s cheaper to play at 24 hour fitness
