P.J. Tucker

P.J. Tucker left a heartwarming post following his exit from the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler came with a tough troll job.

That was in reference to Philly’s decision to sign Harris to a lucrative contract extension in lieu of keeping Butler, prompting his trade to the Heat. Butler’s been prickly about the 76ers since they traded him after the 2018-19 season and his former Philly teammate, Embiid, has become a legit MVP contender. Butler is obviously unhappy that Tucker’s move weakened the Heat and at the same time, made Philadelphia better.

Jimmy Butler is none too pleased with P.J. Tucker after the veteran opted out of his $7.4 million player option with the Miami Heat to join the Philadelphia ...

"Tobias Harris over me?" He was referencing his trade from Philadelphia and how the organization chose to build around Ben Simmons, who is now with the Brooklyn Nets, Joel Embiid and Harris, who was given a five-year, $180 million deal in April 2019, instead of committing to him. “F— you and @JoelEmbiid” — Jimmy Butler to PJ Traitor.

The Heat forward is not happy with Tucker's decision to sign in Philadelphia.

When Miami eliminated Philadelphia in the playoffs last year, Butler wasn’t shy about his joy in being the one to send them home. Miami you will forever be my home and heat nation I can’t thank you guys enough for the love you’ve shown all year. Though our journey together has come to an end the love will forever remain the same.”

PJ Tucker knows what Sixers fans demand from their players, and he is ready to live up to those expectations.

“This team is good enough to compete head-to-head with anybody in the league, and I’m going to come in here and do whatever I can to help get us to that next level. “We’re excited to add his leadership, toughness, defensive versatility and championship pedigree to our roster. Philly fans demand greatness and it will be up to us to get to where we need to be,” Tucker said of joining the Sixers, perIra Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Sixers officially sign P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. while Jimmy Butler leaps into the fray with some playful trash talk.

He made the sound noises and everything.— Alykhan Bijani (@Rockets_Insider) #Rockets pic.twitter.com/HFsXyXDueQ April 15, 2019 We got word from B/R’s Jake Fischer that Tucker may have a player option for the final, third-year of his deal. Butler and the Heat are going to miss Tucker, so this is what you’d call some playful banter. You can only imagine what a kick Joel, who loves Butler, got out of this. Tucker is 37 now so he’ll really be getting up there in NBA years by the time he’s deciding what to do. Danuel House said his patented bow-and-arrow celebration is a tribute to his kids. He also met with GM Elton Brand and signed his deal. The best news here is that those discarded or donated Simmons jerseys can now be repurposed with a bit of crafty stitching or tape. — Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers)— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) pic.twitter.com/ODEOxfIu4M July 7, 2022 House gave the reveal on his Instagram, and fans everywhere had a reaction since 25 was of course, Ben Simmons’ old number. When NBA Summer League begins it’s usually a slow time of year in the NBA. But the Kevin Durant trade request bombshell has changed the whole vibe a bit. But still, the Sixers had some good news Wednesday. Their two new signings in P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. became official!

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Butler was “very much hoping” Tucker would stay with the Heat. After that elimination, Butler very vocally came off the court saying “Tobias Harris over me?” referencing Philadelphia’s decision to build around a core of Harris, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons instead of him. Tucker is now playing for the team he helped eliminate from the 2022 NBA playoffs.

We just got to keep trying to find ways to get him involved on the offensive end of the floor.” “I think I’ve improved over the years as a 3-point shooter tremendously,” Highsmith said, having gone 9 of 28 with the Heat this past season. “I have some of the intangibles P.J. has,” Highsmith, 25, told the Sun Sentinel. “I’m very versatile on defense and I like to play defense like him. “I think the power forward position these days, it’s kind of all about versatility, switching on defense and shooting, which I think I can do. Of course, a key element in the 3-and-D equation is converting 3-pointers. But I can see myself playing it in the right system, which Miami has, like the system for P.J., Markieff [Morris], and they also had Jae Crowder here.”

Daryl Morey takes to Twitter to officially welcome PJ Tucker and Danuel House Jr. to the Philadelphia 76ers.

“He is a willing shooter from outside who can space the floor and punish the opposition. “Philly fans demand greatness and it will be up to us to get to where we need to be in order to accomplish our goals. The Sixers also brought in Danuel House Jr. on a reported 2-year $8.5 million deal.

And Butler is yet to forget that, openly mocking the decision after the Heat eliminated the 76ers in this year's NBA playoffs. On his way back to the locker ...

The six-time NBA All-Star played one eventful season in Philadelphia after being acquired from the Timberwolves in November 2018; that year, the talented 76ers dropped a seven-game series to the eventual champions, the Raptors, in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Butler and Embiid, though, had seemed to remain on good terms in spite of the dysfunction. On his way back to the locker room, Butler shouted: “Tobias Harris over me?”

The loss of PJ Tucker to Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers really stings for the Miami Heat. Jimmy Butler knows it, too.

Perhaps Jimmy Butler was imagining a future wherein Tucker would be guarding him in a playoff series. Miami you will forever be my home and heat nation i can’t thank you guys enough for the love you’ve shown all year. The fact that he left for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers made it hurt a little bit extra for Jimmy Butler.
