It's a terrible read to want him if they had any real chance to get OG or Siakam. At best, Poe will be a more athletic Splitter. That's really good, but it's not better than two guys who already play really good defense and fit better next to Aldridge. In a different version of the trade where Kawhi and Gasol were traded instead, then having Poe be part of the package is almost necessary. Once they let Toronto back out of that deal, however, it didn't make a bunch of sense, especially with Milutinov overseas and Metu freshly drafted (and so many bigs available for the minimum or LLE).
