NBA Trade Grades: Toronto Raptors Add P.J. Tucker From Phoenix Suns

In another move to bolster the roster for a playoff run, the Toronto Raptors added P.J. Tucker from the Phoenix Suns. Here are NBA Trade Grades for the deal.

After making a power move to acquire Serge Ibaka last week, the Toronto Raptors weren’t done posturing for another deep playoff run as the 2017 NBA Trade Deadline approached.

As first reported by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Raptors were able to finally add defensive swingman P.J. Tucker to their ranks in a deal with the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns, who had been hoping to hold out for a first round pick, were forced to settle for two second-rounders — one in 2017 and one in 2018 — for their versatile wing. Jared Sullinger will head to Phoenix to balance salaries for the deal.

With the Raptors re-stating their intentions of challenging the Cleveland Cavaliers for Eastern supremacy and the Suns taking what they could get for an expiring contract, how did each side fare in the deal?

To make sense of it all, here are NBA Trade Grades for both sides.
