Boston Celtics Receive: PJ Tucker

Houston Rockets Receive: 2021 1st Round Pick (via OKA), 2022 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)

This is not a deal that would send shockwaves through the league, but it would help one team in one important area.

The Celtics could use a legitimate three-point threat and that is what PJ Tucker is. He is a player that is used to playing for strong teams and contributing in any way he can. Tucker can shoot the three, but he is also a defensive lockdown player.

Houston would get back some draft capital in this deal that they could choose to flip. Who knows, maybe in a James Harden deal down the road. This would be a deal to help them reconstruct the roster to what they will do on the floor under the new head coach.

Let’s take a closer look to see how this deal would benefit both sides.
