PJ Tucker Heading To The Bucks After Finally Being Traded From Houston

PJ Tucker has been traded to the Bucks

Veteran 3-and-D player PJ Tucker was traded from the Houston Rockets to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Tucker and Rodions Kurucs are headed to Wisconsin after both teams agreed to a deal on Wednesday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Adrain Wojnarowski.

In return, the Rockets get veteran DJ Augustin and DJ Wilson, and the Rockets and Bucks will also swap future first-round draft picks.

Milwaukee then sent forward Torrey Craig to the Phoenix Suns.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the deals today will save the Bucks roughly $3 million in cap space.

Tucker has only averaged 4.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in his fourth season with Houston.

The 35-year old, who has been in the league since 2006, is set to hit free agency this summer.

Augustin has averaged 6.1 points in about 19 minutes per game this season in Milwaukee, mostly off the bench.

Tucker looks to play for a championship after several cracks at the title in Houston.
