Find a PJ Tucker Replacement

Of course, this will be easier said than done. In many respects, P.J. Tucker is irreplaceable.

No, he’s not the most skilled player you’ve ever watched. He may be the hardest working. When it comes to intangibles, few players bring more to the table than Tucker.

The Heat will miss him. Having said that, they can’t afford to sit around and mope about it. The Heat will need to find someone who approximates Tucker this summer.

It’s hard to identify a perfect replacement. Still, there are options. They could trade for a replacement. In free agency, they could look at Eric Paschall, Markieff Morris, or Gary Clarke. Granted, none of those players will replicate Tucker’s defensive efforts, but they’ll at least provide some spacing at the 4.
