Tucker, House, and Brown would be ones I’d be interested in.

I read that Tucker should be available for  a couple of 2nd round picks. He's an UFA after this season. He shouldn't require a first round pick. He makes about $8mm.

How switchable is he on defense?

I’m under the impression he’s one of the best switchable defenders in the NBA. Defends at least four positions. Could be wrong.

2 seconds for PJ would be an enormous get for us.

I love PJ.  He could be a Posey type presence for this team.
Yup

Wood has played his way into being a valuable player, so that's unlikely.

Tucker might cost a first, but why not? Why fret about a slight overpay if it adds something important to your team that's difficult to do? He's 35 so the clock is ticking, but he's an elite defender and perfectly happy to stand in the corner and pop 3's on offense, and he's great at it. Theis is OK at covering some forwards, and OK as a 3 point shooter, but Tucker is great at both.

If they would take our 1st for this year, we absolutely should do it. Elite, flexible defense at power forward, shooting/spacing, maturity, doesn't need the ball. Fairly cheap. Perfect.

Kevin Durant named Tucker as one of the toughest defenders he has faced. That would be a good asset for a postseason matchup against the Nets.

Someone is going grab Tucker, I hope it’s us. Tough bench vets win in the playoffs. The stars shine but the role players put you over the top.

I could just see him and smart getting skull fractures banging heads diving after the same ball!  He just seems like a guy who always gets the loose ball or disrupts a pass.
Yup

Yeah,he’s like a big Smart who can shoot. Good fit.

Defensive line up of Smart, Brown, Tatum Tucker and Thompson is crazy.

The easy and obvious answer is Tucker.

Celts could really use that guy.

Tucker is 35. I don't think I'd want to spend a first rounder on a 35-year-old on an expiring contract.

A shooter like Ben McLemore interests me more.

I wouldn’t give a 1st for PJ Tucker either but I would give one for Tucker and House or McLemore.

I’m inclined to agree if we look like a contender for the ECF.
