I really like it! Thought he was at least getting $10 million. Glad Jakob is back for a fair deal in the prime of his career.

Free agent Jakob Poeltl is finalizing a three-year, near $27M deal to return to San Antonio, agents Mike Tellem, Aaron Mintz and Steven Heumann tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

**dang c/p error, lol...
Mods can you correct le.

More than I wanted... Maybe he really is the starting C after Aldridge is gone.
Gross. But Splitter got that same APY in a much smaller cap. I think that's going to put the Spurs very close to the tax once all of the contracts are signed.
BARF
Meanwhile, Shakril just wet his panties.
I like Jak, but....Overpay unless he is featured more or expands on his game.
Don't mind this. Just hope he developed a jump shot over the break.
Lol, "overpay." Look at the ing market.
We got our new whipping boy, at least. I can't wait to avoid this forum again because of all the insufferable chodes.
I thought he improved a lot last year from the previous year. His pick and roll offense became better and he was a legit anchor on D for a good stretch as well...
People may hate the deal as overpaid but I can tell you this:
It's a lot better than Poeltl and Forbes getting 4.5 each
This Poeltl deal gets them damn close to the tax, no way the broke Seattle-moving owners will pay Forbes now ... I hope
Jesus Christ
Not surprised tbh, especially when you see what other bigs were getting today.
People who hate the deal are morons, full stop.
Mills getting moved you figure?
People are not happy with the amount because they think his ceiling is low and already met. Hope he proves us all wrong and learns to shoot.
Underrated part of the deal tbh. If it guarantees Forbes is gone its a win.
Welp. Not happy but it's not as high as I feared. Starting at $8-something is better than starting at $10 million. I'd rather have cap space, though, tbh.
This was a drama filled signing. Wonder if the local press will cover that aspect. I've heard bits and pieces but Poeltl had multiple teams after him and it's not a coincidence that the deal was done like five minutes before he was free to sign an offersheet elsewhere
If somehow Brian Wright structured it this way to keep Pop’s pet off the team, I would respect him much more.
This team is incompetent
Trade his ass if he has value then what the f
That's probably about right to the current market value.
Would love to sign him a bit cheaper, but $9M-year isn't too bad.
If he can be our starting C who plays 28~33 minutes per game after Aldridge's departure then it's worth it.
3-4 million too high overall but it isn’t terrible and he might be able to make it worth it.
Also if he was willing to accept 3/27 then it means it was the best offer I’m guessing. Let another team sign him and match then
They like what they have, brah. RUN IT BACK!!!
