Woj: Poeltl to the Raps

[slick'81]

Zollins time

[R. DeMurre]

Spurs fans pushing the SIM LOTTERY button on Tankathon a hundred times in a row to see how often they can land the #1 pick...

[offset formation]

Good luck to Poeltl. He grew on me a bit in his time here but quite frankly I'm glad he's gone now as it kind of puts an end to the obvious pieces from the neph debacle. Will probably help me close that pathetic chapter in spurs fandom a bit more readily.

[Rubberducky]

Dammit Suns, Woj and Shams too busy now with the KD trade to tweet the details on the protections. Gonna make us wait all night.

[baseline bum]

Time to catch up to Detroit and Houston so we can ensure the Spurs get the #5 pick.

Later, Jak!

Jakob is a good player for a playoff team.

Wish we got more than a top 25-protected first rounder though

[couchman]

We're committed to the tank now!
We are likely tanking again next year unless we land Wemby or Scoot, and letting go of Poeltl helps.
I'm dying to know what protections on this pick though

[DPG21920]

Wasn't a fan of trading Poeltl at all but depending on the pick protections it's a fair price. 2 firsts was always too optimistic.

I hate already it was Khem.. ok you dont get GTJ and a first, I get that. But you ask for 2 firsts, get only one and take on 30 year old Khem who has 7M on the books guaranteed next year????

I also dont love that it’s not this years pick??? WHY???

I get why they are doing it for this year since Wemby is allegedly supposed to be a generational talent but regardless of whether they get him or not I hope they don't pull this stuff next year.

Spurs going all in on that 2nd half tank

[cd98]

Well Toronto let us borrow Jakob for a few years during our sojourn into sub-mediocrity. I still think he’s one of the better centers in the league. Just not a star.

[daslicer]

Overall crappy trade. Should have traded Poeltl during the summertime when they could have gotten more.

Because Brian Wrong is Ujiri's son again

Probably bc Toronto will likely be in the lottery this year.

no . From two firsts for poodle to back to tor to get raped

[John B]

Poeltl was a good soldier.
A low-maintenance, highly productive starter for a team that never had the shooters necessary to maximise his full capabilities. Toronto as it currently stands, is even worse for him in that regard.

Poeltl a good soldier?? I mean I don’t like this trade, but Poeltl is far from a soldier. You need to poke this guy everytime to work, came from offseason unprepared missing FT’s until 3rd of the season already, cowers against credible bigs. I agree he is getting better on FT lately, but too little too late. STILL, I think Spurs got shortchanged. I expected at least 1 unprotected FRP, with what Spurs got for DJ and Derrick. Very underwhelming.

Good - give it to us then if you want Jak or piss off

[slick'81]

Spurs have what? 20 2rp's over the next several years

[John B]

So Zach starts with Bassey/Barlow as backups. I doubt they play Dedmon-walking, and Khem .

[timvp]

Damn, I was about to publish. Thought I had a few hours. 2,000 words down the drain




But, yeah, the Raptors have been the team pushing the hardest for Poeltl for months now. Kinda like the trade at first look but have to look further.

This trade was necessary to secure that top 3 worst record

Any idea about the protections? Or did Ujiri just raw dog us again like it was 2018?

[cd98]

This team defense just got awful and it was already bad. Perfect for tanking. But we need Vassel to sit.

That's the question I'm trying to answer, tbh.
