The Los Angeles Clippers have already made big changes this summer, parting ways with both Paul George and Russell Westbrook.
But they’re not done yet, according to Bobby Marks.
Marks is reporting, per NBACentral, that the Clippers’ “next priority” is to find a new home for P.J. Tucker.
Marks wrote:
“The Clippers traded Russell Westbrook to Utah, and now the priority is finding veteran PJ Tucker a new home. Tucker is on an expiring $11.5 million contract. The Clippers also have a decision with Terance Mann. Mann is in the last year of his contract and eligible to sign a four-year, $81 million extension.”

Tucker, a 13-year veteran, didn’t do much for the Clippers last season.
He came to Los Angeles as part of the big James Harden deal and didn’t have a place on the team.
He averaged just 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds during his 28 showings with the Clippers, playing only 15 minutes per game.
Tucker wasn’t very happy with his limited role and even made public statements about possibly leaving.
Therefore, it’s not a surprise to hear that the Clippers are saying goodbye to him, but it’s not clear where he will go.
During his prime, Tucker was a reliable role player and strong defender who brought a lot of personality and energy to his teams.
Which front office will entertain the idea of signing him?
Marks said that Tucker will be on the move and Terance Mann could be leaving too.
That means that the Clippers are still making changes as the summer goes on and the regular season approaches.
