Houston Rockets: 3 players the Rockets should consider trading during the 2019-20 season

#1 P.J. Tucker

P.J. Tucker could be a prime trade target for contending teams

P.J. Tucker joined the Houston Rockets back in 2017 after impressive spells with the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors. The veteran was bought in to help the Rockets match up with the Golden State Warriors, although Mike D’Antoni’s men have continued to come off second best.

On the court, Tucker has been solid and is coming off a season in which he played 82 times for the first time in his career. The Rockets man also averaged a career-high 34.2 minutes, along with 7.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

However, the veteran recently turned 34 and still has two years and $16 million remaining on his current deal. After seeing Al Horford generate so much interest earlier this summer, Houston could pick up a surprisingly big haul for Tucker, although the Rockets will need to ensure they acquire a replacement forward in any trade.
