P.J. Tucker and the Houston Rockets are currently at an impasse, as both sides have determined that the best move would be to allow Tucker to explore opportunities that would be best for the 35-year-old forward. Tucker is on an expiring deal, which is partly why many teams have expressed interest in him, as they would be able to land him for the 2020-21 season and postseason without having to commit to him long-term.
Granted the Rockets want him to be a part of their future, as they offered him a two-year extension worth $17 million, which he decided wasn’t enough for him to commit to the franchise.
