Don't know if this has been posted, but here's Pelton's take:
Toronto Raptors: A
The Raptors have been linked to Tucker since before last year's deadline. By waiting Phoenix out, Toronto got its guy at a great price. The Raptors' 2017 second-round pick would currently be No. 51, and I'd bet on that getting worse rather than better now that Toronto has added both Tucker and Serge Ibaka. There's a little more uncertainty with the Raptors' 2018 second-round pick, but it's unlikely to fall in the top half of the round.
Tucker immediately becomes Toronto's best defensive option at either forward spot. He's primarily been a wing stopper for the Suns, but lately Phoenix coach Earl Watson was using Tucker to finish games against top power forwards -- something the Raptors may also ask him to do in smaller lineups alongside either Ibaka or Patrick Patterson in the middle.
In particular, Toronto probably expects Tucker to spend time on LeBron James if the Raptors face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the postseason. Adding Tucker and Ibaka now means Toronto coach Dwane Casey has a wealth of options for matching up with the Cavaliers' small lineups.
Lest we get too carried away, let's be clear that Tucker is also the weakest offensive contributor among the Raptors' forward options. He's a career 34.7 percent 3-point shooter who's shot 33.8 percent this season and who rarely creates shots for himself or others. Despite the hand-wringing about DeMarre Carroll's decline, Carroll's .544 true shooting percentage this season is better than Tucker's career high (.541; he's at .518 in 2016-17).
So it's possible Tucker might not make a huge impact in certain postseason matchups. He wouldn't seem to help much against the Boston Celtics, for example. Given the price, however, any contributions Tucker offers in the playoffs will make this deal a win for Toronto.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
