Bottom line, I'm 100% in favor of giving Tucker a pretty big contract this summer (I'd go as high as $8M per I think, though I don't think I'd be thrilled about it) because he REALLY fills a need for us.

I like Tucker too but 8M seems a little rich. He's already 29 and has only had one good 3pt.shooting season to go by. He improved from 31.4 to 38.7 last season.
