Yeah I bet the trade market gets liquid from here. Potentially two trading partners out of the way. Can’t wait till last call for alcohol to start making moves!

Poeltl for Patrick Williams. Who says no?
No real substance here but Hornets connection and fit undeniable…
Poeltl for Plumlee, Washington and Future considerations perhaps?
Spurs get their ‘4’ and small ball ‘C’ while enhancing their tanking prospects…
May be too lopsided in favour of the Hornets…
I saw Washington at Kentucky when he balled out in the 18 or 19 tourney. He looked like a real deal player and seems like a good Spurs culture fit. If he can play the 5 would love that swap
If all these teams really want Poeltl there should be quite a bidding war going on
What’s all these interests in Poeltl. Is Spurs saying he’s available? I mean I like Poeltl somewhat, but if it’s to pave way for a tier 1 or close, yeah.
Chicago.
If ZCollins continues his stellar play, I could see a few scenarios play out:
1) Poeltl traded
Collins/ Landale/ Eubanks rotation
2) Eubanks traded/ waived
Poeltl/ Collins/ Landale
If it’s #1, then the Spurs are probably more cunning than anyone thought. It means they were thinking a few (or a lot of) steps ahead, and built Poeltl’s value to its peak before trading him while already having his replacements ready to go. I’m going to stick with #2 though. Will have to see it before I believe it— same approach I had with Forbes rumors.
Who the is going to trade for eubanks
Obviously he would be part of a bigger trade.
I can't understand shopping Poeltl. Primarily because his cost is very low (he's in hand, he's cheap for production), meaning getting a player of Poeltl caliber is difficult at the same price points. The only thing I can guess is they figure he'll get much more expensive after next season.
We've literally told you this so many damn times dude.
Eubanks would only be salary ballast. He’s barely a replacement level player.
Jock and Lonnie not on bench tonight
Lol, I don't read everybody's ing responses. I don't live here, you know. LMAO.
As if I'd listen to the brain trust here on anything, with these genius trades for John Collins and Ben Simmons.![]()
This is why I suspect Chicago is offering Vuch and a 1st for Jak and Thad.
Bulls upgrade both their starting and backup C spot while shedding 15 million in salary at seasons end. All that in exchange for a late 1st.
Of course the Spurs say no because it makes them worse in the short term and long term and the incoming draft compensation isn't enough to off set the talent down grade and loss of cap space.
Vuch and Jak are unplayable together and Vuch is making 23 million for the next two seasons while Jak is making about 9 million while being the better player.
Cant blame Chicago for calling.
So then use a bit of logic. You highly value Poeltl but somehow think the Spurs will be able to sign him for cheap?
Jakob is quite likely to get a deal of 14-18 million per year, IMO. With the way you talk about it, I suspect you expect him to command a deal worth over 20 million.
Don't listen to people, but then at least don't make stupid comments over and over again.
"Gee I can't figure out why the Spurs are shopping Poeltl. Gee wiz guys"
We can’t trade Thad back to the Bulls this season.
Dude, you really have for brains, huh? I literally said the only reason to trade Poeltl is if they think he will be too expensive two summers from now. I said nothing about what I think he'll command in salary. It's not really that you're a ing idiot, it's that you're a ing disgrace.
lol a disgrace to who? You finally said that after more than a month of "The Spurs would never move on from Poeltl" takes when it is now clear that for the right price they would in fact move on from him for the very reason many have told you about here. Its ok if you want to be stupid and its ok if you want to act like everyone else here is stupid but for s sake at least read when we try to point out the obvious to you.
Maybe a playoff team that has an injured player, and wants an active player at that roster spot. For example, the Suns with Kaminsky, who had knee surgery about a month ago.
No, I don't actually believe in these trade rumors. Look, bruh, I realize you have the intelligence of a kindergartner, but there's been absolutely no explanation of why a trade for Poeltl makes sense other than what I said. You're the one freaking out, and I think because I made fun of your wad John Collins infatuation.
Poeltl is both a very good defensive center and he's pretty cheap.
You cannot bet on getting a player of his caliber between a late FRP and a 'quality' player.
You're basically trading a quarter for two dimes. Maybe even a quarter for a dime and a nickel.
It's stupid, unless there's something else there.
If you trade Poeltl, the better move is coupling some other value and TRADING FOR A BETTER PLAYER.
Because 1) a nice defensive center PLUS 2) a cheap contract DOES NOT equal a late FRP and a role player.
This is so academic, so obvious, it's clear you're brain damaged to not understand it. And, NO, the SpursTalk idiocy of just jacking off over trades for no ing reason isn't convincing.
Once again, THE ONLY REASON to trade Poeltl right now is if they think he's too expensive in 2023. That's it. And even then they come out behind.
No thats the only reason. We've told you that so many ing times. Mind blown you are still acting like that isn't the very reason you've been told so many times.
