When it comes to the Philadelphia 76ers’ players, PJ Tucker knows exactly what the team’s fans expect.
This free agency, Tucker made a big vow to help the Sixers get to the next level after signing a three-year, $33.2 million contract.
We have the talent to compete with anyone in the league, and I intend to do everything in my power to help us get there.” Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel quotes Tucker as saying, “Philly fans deserve greatness, and it will be up to us to get to where we need to be.”
Despite possessing an MVP-caliber player in Joel Embiid, the Sixers have been unable to go past the first round of the playoffs on numerous occasions. Even though they’ve made the playoffs every year since the arrival of Embiid, the team has never made it to the Conference Finals or the NBA Finals.
Even though the Philadelphia 76ers acquired James Harden in a trade last season, he was unable to avert a second-round departure.
PJ Tucker, on the other hand, brings championship experience and will be a valuable addition to the Sixers. Philly, for his part, is hopeful he can be the missing link in the puzzle.
His leadership, toughness, defensive versatility, and championship background make him a welcome addition to our roster. Daryl Morey, the president of the Philadelphia Sixers, remarked that P.J.’s desire to win an NBA championship and his work ethic and mentality make him an important addition to the team.
The future of the Sixers is uncertain now that Tucker has joined the team, but supporters have good cause to be hopeful.
