I really can't see him signing that cheap. He's too good defensively to settle so low. Feel like hometown discount would be $20 million starting with 6% raises (or whatever the non-Bird raise is), especially with a $130 million cap.
Vuvevic and Markkanen both shoot the 3 ball. Poeltl can’t even make FTs. I’m one of the strongest Poodle supporters here, but he’s a $16-18M player.

Right about McDermott being a bad comparison. The Spurs doubled McDermott’s pay because, like some other teams, they got caught up in the 3-pt shooting specialist fad, (which a number of teams may now regret.)
The better comparison might be DJM. It’s hard to see the Spurs paying Poeltl more than DJ. Hard to justify. So, 4yrs and a total of 64M should be the most the Spurs should consider. Poeltl would be wise to take it.
The hometown discount is him securing a max extension of 4yrs/50mm when available. Jak is exactly the type of
player to take some money off the table given the relationship.
This is not how I equate relative value. You need to use current comps and if they aren’t accurate comps make adjustments. Jak’s market will never be dictated by a guards deal 4 years ago and DJM’s deal was complicated by him coming off a serious injury making it even less useful.
I do agree with McD’s assessment. Never understood that as few teams had more than the MLE to offer.

He'll likely fall either toward the high end of Williams, Carter Jr., Holmes, Gafford ($10-14M) or in between them and Capela, Allen, Adams, Valanciunas ($16-20M) and all of which signed within' the past 2 years.
LolololololololI got to see the Spurs come back from the most crushing Finals loss imaginable to climb that mountain right back again the next year and completely pick their rival apart in one of the nastiest revenge series of all time. And then I got to see the Suns think they were doing the same with their 64 win season only to lay an egg and get booed off their home floor in a Game 7.
Ok but just to be clear Dallas too.
4 years, $50 million is lunacy, he's not signing for that pittance.
I agree he should test free agency, but there is a chance he entertains that long term deal ahead of next year if offered.
He could go play on a le contender or in a better market for that kind money, 4yr/$50 million would put his base salary maybe $1 million over MLE. Don't know why people expect athletes to take huge paycuts under their market value all the time.
Agreed he could which is why I think 15mm or so is a likely price that clears the market. Jak stays between SA and his hometown in Austria. Not sure a bigger market is important to him. Probably the opposite. Contenders are less likely to pay up for him. Also, remember each year only a handful of teams these days have cap beyond the MLE.
Any talk of jak signing a 4/50 is absolutely ing ridiculous. There's zero chance of it being that low.
If anyone believes Jak is signing for 12.5 per year I urge them to put their money where their mouth is cause that's a bet I'll easily take.
People are probably just trying to find a way for him to stay. Reality is that it’s probably time to move on. Poeltl has hit his peak but certainly has a ton of value around the league.
