    Thank you for all the effort throughout these years Tucker. You were on the second best team in franchise history against the most formidable opponent in franchise history. I know this owner f*cked you by not keeping the previous owner's promise, and I know you sacrificed your shoulder/neck nerves probably permanently so that you could fight 7 footers for 2 years and no one is going to pay you back for that. Don't pay attention to those who say "it's a business", I know you gave more than what your contract required.

    I don't really care if he ends up on a team I don't like as long as he has a chance to win it all. It's going to be the Nets of course, and the league is now screwed because they just needed some 3&D wing depth and a rejuvenated Tucker is plenty.

    Good for the young guys on the team to have been in the same locker room for a while and now they get more minutes.

    Why can’t House make these demands ;)

    Hope we get a good deal for PJ and it’s a win for both parties... outside of Wall and Wood, there’s zero reason for any vets to see minutes after the trade deadline.

    P.J Tucker on a 62 Win Team to a 62 Losses Team

    P.J Tucker is a huge part of the Tank Process.

    His 0 Points and 5 Rebounds, Being Slow Laterally on Defense really Helps the Tank Process at the Center Position.

    He is Too Tall at Center at 6'5, He is Taller than Charles Barkley at Least.

    The Rockets wanted a young productive piece back when they traded James Harden.

    They couldn't get that then.

    Let's hope they can get it now for PJ Tucker.

    Man the stench of Tilman's ownership gets worse as each day passes.

    The Rockets are crushing this tank job. So subtle but so good. Now all we need is to neutralize Wood some more the rest of the season.

    Hope he goes to the Nets and they win the championship. My wife surprised me by having more interest in the Nets than the Rockets. 13 losses can do that.

    Seemed like his trade value was tanking the more he played. Probably for the best.

    Tucker shouldn't act like Harden. He was fit to play this game. I think he will be bought out.

    Lottery Teams have Higher Picks, These Contenders have Late 1st Round Picks or Late 2nd Round Picks.

    Can the Rockets Trade for the Heat Precious Achiuwa. Please Trade for a Small Forward that have Height, Long Wingspan, Athletic, Quickness Laterally on Defense.

    6'8 Ft , 7'2 Wingspan and above at Forward.

    Can Guard PG, SG, SF Easily on Switches.

    He is getting Traded. No Doubt. Let the Bidding Start until the Trade Deadline.

    He will get reinjured. That's how a tank season rolls
    Worst Rockets team ever. Last 14 games only won on the line 1 time. Watch line on Rockets go insane.

    They won't even give us Silva imo. Riley has no incentive to trade with the Rockets.

    Tucker wants 2 years, 24 million in the bank. 2 year/17 total with 10 guarantees is a 1 year/10mil contract.

    He wants a bit of a thank you. 12 mil for 2 years?! I think he's deserving of that. Tucker would be a great veteran coach on the floor for the next wave of Rockets and it would be a stellar move to reward him for the good times. We can still auction off the rest of the veterans as the offers come.

    Looks like the thank you is just that the Rockets are going to accept him saying he wants to sit until traded. They're going to let bullshit casuals rip him apart for not scoring enough points this year. What a mess.

    He wouldn't take it even if Tito had the gall to offer it.
