Miami Heat: 3 Direct Offseason Attacks On Bucks – Stealing P.J. Tucker Away

As mentioned earlier, the Heat are stacking guys to guard guys like Giannis. One of those new guys is a former teammate that just helped him win a title.

They Took P.J. Tucker Away From Them

One of the best ways to directly hurt your competition is to snatch some of their players. When you are talking about a player who can and did mean as much to them as P.J. Tucker did in their title run, it becomes even that much greater of a get for Miami.

As mentioned, not only will he, now, help to stop Giannis, but you won’t have to worry about him destroying your game plan. He’ll help a ton for Miami, but at least the Bucks don’t have him either.

The Miami Heat still have a lot of work to do to build chemistry and in fact, continuing to build out their team and roster. What they have now though is a great start!

While there are a few teams in the East worth keeping an eye on if you are Miami, you have put yourselves right there to compete. When it comes to the team that just won the title though, in the Milwaukee Bucks, the moves you have made this offseason should give you as good a chance as any to beat them, specifically.
