hadnt considering tucker going over too but makes sense
Houston is increasingly determined to complete a James Harden trade as soon as today, league sources say, and has chased the promising Maxey in addition to SimmonsPhilly is known to covet Houston's PJ Tucker in addition to Harden while the Nets have also remained in pursuit— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) January 13, 2021

I don't really know Tucker that well. Form looking at his stats (advanced and otherwise), he seems like a non-entity the last two years. Why would the Sixers want him?

I like Maxey so far. I don't want to give up Simmons, him, and a bunch of picks.

tucker is gritty and also scrappy and particularly solid
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link
He might be one year past it tho, hard to tell because Houston is so weird rn

wld think its not going to be a bunch of picks, mb a 1st and a 2nd?
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 19:52 (three years ago) link
Thanks, I had a feeling it had to be something like that, because he doesn't do a thing on offense. I guess that would make up (a little) for losing Ben.

lol this source seems completely bad but i want this to be true:
🚨Update on Kyrie situation.🚨I’m told he’s been “furious” at the organization for some time for not giving him more input on the head coach hiring. He was not in favor of Steve Nash. Also, his relationship with Kevin Durant has been described as “very distant” recently. https://t.co/MS4yvW4x2J— Tommy Dee (@ThomasCDee) January 13, 2021
this was the most obvious turn of events imaginable

tucker is a great intangibles guy
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link
i think tucker is mostly past his prime but hes still very useful and a great teammate plug-n-play guy. he'd be helpful in the playoffs.

Demarcus Cousins: "Other 14 the guys in the locker room have done nothing to him. For us to be on the receiving end of disrespectful comments and antics...it's unfair to the rest of the guys in the locker room.— Alykhan Bijani (@Rockets_Insider) January 13, 2021

tucker can guard 4/5 and play w/ another big bcuz he can shoot threes well, pretty much the exact sort of player every team needs in the playoffs

harden is basically doing the player version of the sam hinkie process. just like the state of the league incentivized tanking, it also incentivizes star players forcing their way off teams... harden (like hinkie) is just dropping the pretense of doing anything else than the thing he's incentivized to do
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 January 2021 20:53 (three years ago) link
strong parallels with his on-court playing style too
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
yeah that he came into his own as a player (for better or worse) under morey is prob not a coincidence lol

Sixers and Morey really let James Harden go join up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on a direct conference rival... because they got cold feet over Ben Simmons and Tyrese Maxey lol.

James Harden hired Jason Ranne and Chafie Fields from Wasserman to secure a trade for him. They worked closely with the Rockets and all teams involved to secure the deal. Wasserman also represented Russell Westbrook and worked closely with the Rockets on his trade to Wizards. https://t.co/4LG0hC5wmz— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) January 13, 2021

the pacers-rockets part makes sense for both sides... pacers get a new oladipo on a longterm contract and the rockets get another player it can flip before the deadline
