Likes it in SA, but not happy with his role & playing-time. Definitely will also look after other options in FA

He does seem like he wants to move on. Here is the article translated...
Jakob Pöltl is toying with the departure from San Antonio Spurs
Jakob Pöltl can imagine saying goodbye to his current NBA team San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season. Pöltl is looking for a chance for more playing time, he could advertise the league sequel to the Corona break at the end of July in Disney World in Orlando.
The Viennese wants to make his future dependent on the team composition. In San Antonio, he had to line up behind the former all-star LaMarcus Aldridge in the past two years.
"I don't know if that's an optimal situation for me another year," said Pöltl in an interview with APA . "I would be interested to look at at least a few other options and maybe find something that fits the concept better."
Pöltl becomes a restricted free agent, the Spurs can catch up with any offer from a compe or in the fall. The Austrian emphasized that he was generally positive about the team and the organization. "But as far as my career and my development are concerned, my role and the playing time are currently in the foreground."
Jakob Pöltl: "I expected more"
Before the Corona mandatory break, the center used an average of 16.6 minutes this season, scoring 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. "Then I'm in my fifth year in the NBA. I'm not saying now that I expected from the start to play 30 minutes in the fifth year, but I was expecting progress every year."
However, the values are currently stagnating. Pöltl said that this had to do with his own achievements. "It depends a lot on how well I play. Last year I expected more - from myself, but also from my role and my minutes. That's why I don't want to play another year under similar conditions if it doesn't have to be."

Jakob Pöltl to the Detroit Pistons?
His agent keeps Pöltl up to date on possible offers. He has been associated with his former Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey and the Detroit Pistons. The 2.13-meter man could significantly increase his market value with a strong performance in Orlando - especially since Aldridge is out of action for the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery.
Pöltl does not see himself threatened by center colleague Tyler Zeller's short-term commitment. "On paper, there is a chance that there will be plenty of play time."
The Viennese want to take on more responsibility. The sideband strain in the knee that had forced him to watch before the corona break has healed. "I haven't felt anything in training for weeks," said Pöltl. However, the conditions for the restart are "not optimal". Only three weeks of team training are available to the Spurs from their arrival in Orlando. This will be followed by eight games in two weeks from July 31.
The chance of a subsequent playoff participation is manageable with four wins behind the Memphis Grizzlies eighth in the Western Conference. The Texans hope for ninth place, which could justify a kind of round of hope against the eighth. "We lost one of our best players and it will certainly not be easy," said Pöltl. "But if we're going there, it must be the goal."
Thx for translating!
He’s restricted, so he’s likely not going anywhere.
maybe he should score more than 5 points a game if he wants minutes
depends on the offer sheet
maybe he would if Murray & Forbes could pass the ball.
And it seems there’s no need for defense.
He doesn't have any valuable skill set, so i dont see him going anywhere.
he is a better than average defender
It's funny that the Pistons want yet another Spurs big man.
He should be patient. His time will come. LMA is not long to be on the Spurs roster. I'd be surprised if he makes it through the entire season next year.
I dunno if translation is accurate. But wouldn't be surprising. A) he wants as much as money as he can get. Exploring the market allows him that. Unless he was a MAX player, I think any player would do what he is doing. B) If he's not happy with his role here, he needs to expand his game. Develop an outside shot. Its the way the league is going.
Let someone else overpay him.
Told you Zeller was his replacement
I like him at the right price. I would try to keep him around tbh.
Not surprised. Dude is our best defensive player. Routinely would come in and impact the game and barely play after that.
it would be quite stupid of Poeltl to leave. Dude has developed so much with us. Still remember 1st day, he had no offensive game, looked lost on defense. There still more to learn. Plus he'll have more time at the C when LA Leaves, it'll be his role to lose.
I want to see Potel play with Metu during the 8 games. If they could be a good big man combo that would be great for our future. Would allow lyles or Luka to play the back up big.
I have no doubt he will go elsewhere and triple his production. It is called the post pop effect.
And then Pop gets praised in the media for developing him
He needs to be free. Poop is holding him back pe rpar disguising.
All of his advanced stats are very good. It's absurd that he gets half the minutes of DeRozan. And he's one of the best defenders on a team sorely hurting for defense. I can understand why he'd want to look elsewhere.
Pöltl Should jump ship.
The poop led team is a cluster
Walker and White too
Scola thread!
What examples do you have of that?
