You guys are fools if you don’t see what he’s trying to do here. He’s jealous that harden and westbrook reunited. By doing this, he is driving up PJ tucker’s Value. We will either have to let him go, or use up more cap. This is psychological offseason warfare against a team that KD is jealous of.
Durant probably couldn't live with what his teammates were allowed to get away with on the defensive end along with the moving screens on the offensive. His conscience finally let him leave the Warriors.
Pj defense wasnt that good this past postseason look ,press menu top left ,then go to defensive dashboard,then press playoffs intead of regular season, and look at his dfg.https://stats.nba.com/player/200782/
Tripped across this: https://weei.radio.com/blogs/nick-friar/gordon-hayward-pushing-grant-williams-grow-defensively (Grant) Williams has been trying to take the next step on the defensive end in his workouts. Given his height and weight, the Celtics might be looking for the rookie to eventually develop into a P.J. Tucker-type. Kevin Durant recently acknowledged the Rockets forward as the player who gives him the toughest time. Tucker is an inch shorter than Williams and weighs right around 10 pounds more than the 20-year-old.
If that's what he's doing, then he's just gained a lot of respect from me lol. But I doubt that's his intention... You're giving these athletes too much credit when it comes down to stuff like this. They're not Machiavellis haha.
Well, he's right about PJ, but not about the hacking. PJ is the *best* in the league at taking up every legal inch of space from when a player catches the ball, sets up to shoot and lands. Shane Battier used to do this as well when he was playing. And, PJ's quick hands are underestimated. The second a player goes for the swipe through, Tuck has already taken the space away, resulting in a bad shot or a steal. There's nothing to not like about PJ's game. I hope he gets a few more shots per game this year.
