Following a grueling seven-game Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat head into the offseason, searching for ways to improve.
PJ Tucker does have an expiring contract this coming free agency period and was one of the critical role players for Miami. His contract has expired, and Tucker is set to be an unrestricted free agency on Thursday at 6 p.m.
According to Marc Stein, rival teams are ‘convinced’ that Tucker will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The deal would reportedly be worth up to three years, $30 million earning $10 million per season with the team. Tucker made seven million this past year with the Miami Heat and has a $7.3 million player option after signing a two-year, $14 million contract with Miami last summer.
The Heat faced the 76ers in the second round and eliminated Philly in six games. Tucker averaged 8.1 points and 5.1 rebounds, on 52.5 percent from the field and 43.7 percent shooting from three.
