Shortly after the Milwaukee Bucks won the 2020-21 NBA title, everyone expected it to be an open and shut case when it came to P.J. Tucker’s impending free agency.
It seemed inevitable that the newly crowned champions would hand the fan-favorite an extension the moment that they were allowed to, but things did not pan out that way. Shockingly, the Bucks let Tucker walk and he ended up signing a deal with the Miami Heat, one of their most prominent rivals within the Eastern Conference. It still stings nearly two months later, and it will only become worse once the Bucks play the Heat and see Tucker wearing an opposing jersey.
