The Houston Rockets have had many moving parts during the offseason. It began by sending Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards in return for John Wall. There have been plenty of rumors involving James Harden, but a trade like this one involving PJ Tucker with the Boston Celtics would be a bit smaller.
Houston has a new-look front office and a new head coach in Stephen Silas. Wall and DeMarcus Cousins make up the new duo on the court. They could decide to make some other changes.
Silas could change the style of play. The Rockets have been a team that lives and dies by the three-point shot. That has clearly not been a winning formula recently.
If they choose to send away some shooters, the Celtics could be on the other end of a deal. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the franchise players in Boston, but they are lacking that real three-point and defensive threat. They entered the offseason hoping to improve their front-court, but a trade like this one could help Boston take the next step.
If Boston and Houston got together for a trade, it could look something like this. Let’s take a look at what a potential deal for PJ Tucker might be.
