P.J. Tucker wants a new contract with the Houston Rockets, and I don’t quite blame him either. He’s fought his entire career to get to where he is now, and he’s still largely underrated and unknown. But there are some obstacles in the way of Tucker getting what he wants.
For starters, Tucker’s current contract, as outlined here by Spotrac, is good through 2021. This means he’s essentially under contract for 2 more seasons, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of getting a new deal now.
The Rockets could certainly do him a solid and extend his contract now, but they don’t technically have to.
