The rumour mill continues as we draw nearer to the trade deadline on the 18th February. I’m ready to type enough on that day so that my fingers literally catch fire.
Honestly I believe not much will happen because there are barely any sellers this season. For both Conferences there are at least 10 teams that are in the running for a Playoff spot so I think the teams would rather stick with what they got than risk toppling the house of cards.
PJ Tucker has been a loyal, blue collar worker for the Phoenix Suns, with a supreme on-court shoe collection. Even though the Suns are crumbling by the week, Tucker does not want to leave with rumours of him being on the trading block.
“It would suck; I’m not going to lie,” he said of possibly being traded. “I was here when (the team) was down and we came up and now having a tough year this year, so kind of seeing it full circle and not obtain the goal of making the playoffs since I’ve been here, so that wouldn’t be at the top of my list of things that I like.
“But, it’s part of the business and you got to keep fighting through it, keep playing and being a professional.”
“It is what it is,” he said. “I always get through these times with the same kind of attitude. I’m going to be P.J. no matter what, whether I’m here or wherever. I love being in Phoenix. It’s been my longest stop of my career and hopefully it continues.”
I applaud Tucker, how many people do you know would rather play for the Phoenix Suns than the 2nd best team in the East Toronto Raptors? Not many people that’s for sure.
Commendable, but foolish, if you have a chance to get out, get out! You don’t have to die with the sinking ship!
