Grading P.J. Tucker’s $33M Deal With the 76ers

P.J. Tucker is reuniting with James Harden. The burly forward agreed to a three-year, $33.2 million deal with the Sixers on Thursday, according to multiple reports. Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer was the first to report the parameters of a possible signing. Tucker, 37, averaged 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season, his lone year with the Heat. He also brought his trademark defensive intensity to the team while shooting a career-best 41.5% from three. Tucker previously played with Harden on the Rockets from 2017–21. Let’s grade the signing for Philly.
