    Dunno if they needed the MLE for that. Still implies they want to keep him around. Thought they could've done better.

    My guess is it's a partially guaranteed deal that pays him near the minimum. Getting that much control over a young big is really nice, especially because it will help with their forthcoming decision regarding Poeltl.

    Losing Poeltl would be a lot more difficult to swallow if Eubanks was also lost.

    Wonder if this insurance incase we lose Poeltl. That, or they just really like him and want to lock him in as a backup big for the next three seasons.

    It's probably LMA insurance more than anything.

    My guess is that it’s probably structured like Metu’s deal, cheap, and more easily cuttable every year. It won’t be hard to move him or waive him if need be.

    Poeltl doesn’t want to come off the bench and the Spurs do not need to start Aldridge/Poeltl/DeRozan together again. It appears Spurs want to essentially run it back though and preserve as much cap space as possible for next summer.

    I'm cool with bringing him back, he shows promise as a 15-18 mpg backup big. Probably isn't going to play a lot this season. unless they move Aldridge or the opt not to bring back Poeltl, but probably a move towards the future.

    I'm guessing 1-2 years fully guaranteed and it has nothing to do with Poeltl. You still need a third C and that's where he'll come in.

    I thought they had bird rights on Eubanks and this wouldn’t affect the MLE?

    if they're an over the cap team, wouldn't a 3 year deal only be possible through a portion of the MLE?

    It alle depends on how big the contract is. If it is around 3 mil or Bigger, i am sure Poeltl is gone. If its below that, it means only they like Eubanks.

    Hopefully this means they not brining Poodle back as I would rather see what Eubanks can do as a backup getting consistent minutes.

    He's a clear locker room guy a la Bonner. Good fit chemistry wise.

    Serious Question: Does Eubanks have a higher ceiling than Poeltl?

    Obviously Poeltl is a lot better now but Eubanks hasn't been playing compe ive basketball that long and appears to be early in his growth curve. I think there's an argument that Eubanks has a higher ceiling although there's probably only like a 10% chance he's ever better than Poeltl.

    Eubanks seems like he should be a good player. He has good athleticism. Just needs to calm down and get smarter. Needs more reps.

    instant reaction for me is a NO.
