The Milwaukee Bucks have added a key player to their frontcourt rotation, acquiring P.J. Tucker in a trade with the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, according to a report by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bucks also receive Rodions Kurucs and their own 2022 first-round pick back, with D.J. Augustin, D.J. Wilson and a 2023 unprotected first-round pick headed to Houston.
