The Milwaukee Bucks’ devastating loss to the New York Knicks on Monday is evidence that they are far from being a flawless team. This season, the Bucks have already beaten the Knicks three times, most recently on Saturday night in a 130-111 rout.
On what was likely the biggest regular-season day on the NBA schedule, New York emerged victorious when the lights were shining brightest.
Milwaukee Bucks Looking for Some Reinforcement
The Bucks are interested, per a recent report by NBA Insider Marc Stein. As part of the historic James Harden trade, Tucker recently joined the Clippers, and Stein observed that Milwaukee has a “healthy level of admiration” for him.
This season, Tucker won’t save Milwaukee, and his potential arrival doesn’t ensure a title. Tucker, though, might be a valuable veteran addition to the Bucks as they aim to win the whole season given what he brings to the table.
PJ Tucker Wants Out of LA
“I am aware of my value. I am aware of my contributions. I’m aware of what I brought. In a recent interview, Tucker said to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints, “I know what I can continue to bring.” And along with that, I hope to be able to find a good team that I can contribute to. It’s sort of prioritized simultaneously and has a part, in my opinion. And when you know you can play that role and have played that role on championship level teams, not just winning championships, but teams that have a chance to win a championship over the last seven years, eight years. Thus, yes.
The bad news for Milwaukee, though, is that there will probably be fierce competition for Tucker’s services if he suddenly becomes available. The Bucks are unlikely to have an easy road to a possible reunion with the 6-foot-5 forward.
