G-F P.J. Tucker

Trade Candidate

6-foot-6, 245 pounds

Career averages (6 seasons): 

7.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals per game

43.4 percent shooting on all field goal attempts, 34.4 percent on three-point attempts

What he can bring to the Cleveland Cavaliers:

The Cleveland Cavaliers might not seem like they need another versatile wing but Tucker is a player who could probably defend all five positions at 6-foot-5. He’s gritty and tenacious as a defender and is a player who would benefit the Cavs as they take on the Golden State Warriors and their “Super Death Lineup”. If James matches up against Draymond Green at center, the Cavs will have a bevy on wings and forwards to fit around James in that lineup with the addition of Tucker. Imagine the team that could take the air out of the best small-ball lineup in the NBA. Offensively, Tucker is as versatile as he is defensively. He can post-up, pull-up or spot-up for the Cavs and be an effective scorer.
