We dont have enough other players to carry his load of 0 productivity just so he can annoy other players. If he opted out of 7.5 million, hes planning on getting paid more. Now youre talking spending our entire, or almost entire MLE on him, and thats our main possible way to add talent to this team. I think thatd be as disappointing as the time we spent our money on Mike Scott. With similar results. Agreed. Tucker wouldn’t help this team at all. No thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks He is still a really good defender who can guard all the bigger wings in the East and shot 41% from 3s on 2.7 attempts RAPTOR 538 has his WAR as 57th best in the league this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I dont really know what any of those statistics are. They may be too convoluted to give a real picture. Hs 38 years old and chubby, with unimpressive steal and block numbers. I dont see how he can be a great defender. On the other hand, there are numerous players on that list above him who are available this summer. So if we are using that stat, get some of those other guys instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how steals and blocks are an indicator of a good defender. This year when guarding Tatum, regular and post season, on 127 possessions Tatum scored 15 points The best perimeter defender of his generation, Tony Allen, averaged 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks during his prime and they aren't anything special.

I like tucker just not on a 3 year $30 mil dollars deal. That third year he becomes an expiring contract. My biggest concern is he’s 37 and at some point he’s falling off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum and him are great friends from St. Louis. They have talked about it before. Miami i think wants to get him and it’s Miami. dark horse to me is Portland cause i do think they have the 7th pick (i assume it would have to get done prior to the draft) and some young players they’d be willing to deal in a sign and trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It's reported now that if you're a GM that hasn't received a call from the 6ers about Thybulle and the 23rd pick, your phone must be off. 6ers doing everything they can to trade them. Seems they want to create the space to receive the full MLE to offer that ridiculous contract to Tucker. Thybulle isn't going to develop and needs to go. But trading 2 young prospects to sign a 38yo declining role player is bad business. Thybulle and the pick should only be traded for someone up and coming, or an established role player way younger than 38. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepard Wong Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 With the obvious caveat of these are rumors and we should wait to see what actually happens, giving that contract to any 37 year old role player is not a good idea, especially if you are dumping what few trade assets you have to clear cap space to do it. Maybe I'm just scarred by too many years of bad leadership with this franchise, but this does feel like a very Sixers thing to do. Go get players that would have been good fits back when they were still viable players but instead overpaying for them when they are on the downside of their careers, ala Chris Webber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought last year they should’ve tried to be in the Lonzo ball sweepstakes. But at this point the odds that were put out say if beal leaves Washington they are the favorite. I’m guessing they rather take the chance with beal then whatever points are available this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
