With De’Anthony Melton in town via splash trade on draft night, the Sixers offseason got underway. But many folks are wondering if Melton’s arrival put a fork in Philadelphia’s pursuit of Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker, who the Sixers have been connected to by multiple reports.
Keith Pompey reported last week that “Multiple sources have the Sixers intending to offer [Tucker] a three-year, $30 million contract. Time will tell what will happen. But a source added that there’s mutual interest between Tucker, 37, and the Sixers.”
Looking at an updated cap sheet, per Spotrac, the Sixers have 13 players under contract.
