Live Bar, September 14th recently, 76 executives participated in The Takeoff podcasting program, during which they talked about The team’s new support PJ-Tucker.
“Last season in the playoff heat against us, Tucker had an impact on the series in many ways with his toughness, high level of defense, field vitality and offensive rebounds. Joel enbide was right, ‘we just need such players. “But enbide never said,” we must sign PJ-Tucker. ‘Yogueta is not a free agent, then we have to go another way.” The president of 76 people said.
76 people signed a three-year contract with Tucker worth 33.2 million dollars this summer, which is a special treatment for 37-year-old Tucker. However, in the view of 76 presidents, Tucker is still of high value compared with his age.
“If you look at the players like him, you should have left the league four years ago. Almost no player like him was still galloping on the court at the age of 37. I don’t worry about his age. I don’t know what he looked like when he was 40, but he has always been very competitive. He knows that he is still outstanding at the age of 40. He is very confident, we also believe this.” The 76-person president continued, “even if his physical function will decline, he will still bring energy and he will become an incredible player. Tucker can also help the team win the championship at the age of 36 and 37. Frankly speaking, Tucker is an all-star in his role field. Maybe a player like him will become an all-star in 50 years because people recognize their contribution.” 76 executives said.
In the 2021-22 regular season, Tucker played 71 games for the Heat, with an average contribution of 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists; 18 games in the playoffs, each game contributed 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists.
