Pat Riley pulled another rabbit out of his hat.
Shams Charania reported Monday night that free agent power forward P.J. Tucker has agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Miami Heat. The move fortifies the hole at power forward after Jae Crowder’s departure in free agency a year ago. The Heat tried to plug the hole with Trevor Ariza, but he didn’t offer quite as much as Crowder did. (Ariza, for his part, agreed to a deal to return to the Los Angeles Lakers.)
Tucker’s contract includes a player option in the second year.
