The Rockets are shaping up to be solid contenders to the Warriors’ dominance in the Western Conference. The Rockets have agreed to a 4 year/$32M deal with P.J. Tucker, who was an unrestricted free agent from the Toronto Raptors.
Tucker, one of the finest defenders in the league, is the newest addition to a newfound talent pool in Houston. While acquiring star point guard Chris Paul and pairing him with James Harden, Eric Gordon, and Ryan Anderson makes the Rockets an offensive juggernaut, though they lack talent on the other side of the court. P.J. Tucker gives the Rockets a solid defender who can be a reliable three-point shooter, helping the Rockets on both sides of the court.
NBA fans better get ready, the Western Conference is going to be a bloodbath next season, and the Rockets are fully loaded and ready to go.
