Phoenix Suns Receive: PJ Tucker, DeMarcus Cousins

Houston Rockets Receive: Dario Saric

PJ Tucker has started 26 games for the Rockets this season. He is not shooting at the level we have seen yet. Tucker is converting 32.9% of his shots from three-point range. This could change on a team like the Suns playing alongside Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

DeMarcus Cousins has looked like a shell of himself and will be the other player being sent to Phoenix. He would mostly be involved in this deal as a salary cap filler to make the deal work and to give the Suns another player with size off the bench.

Dario Saric would be the return for the Rockets. He has played in just nine games this season and is scoring 9.3 points per game. Saric has been unable to get comfortable on any team throughout his career but maybe that would change with the Rockets.

Let’s take a look and see how this deal would help both sides right away this season and in the future.
