Latest Inside Info on Jakob Poeltl Trade Rumors

[exstatic]

Poeltl is the only starter not on the injury report for tonight's game. If he sits tonight he has probably played his last game as a Spur this season. Although I can see the Spurs trading him and also trying to re-sign him in the offseason.

No one would ever trade with us again.

No one would ever trade with us again.

Because there is such honor throughout the NBA. As soon as it is a team's best interest to trade with us they will. Maybe the team he is traded to has a beef, but unlikely anyone else would give a rat's ass.

Yeah, not all front offices are as stubborn as PATFO. Most GM’s don’t have an unlimited leash and actually
value winning.

[RC_Drunkford]

Or trade him at half time and he switches in the second half??

I like that idea

Read that Wizards registering interest in ol’ Jake. Deni Avideh?

Hard to say what the Wizards would give up. They are $400,000 over the luxury tax threshold so you know that they are going to want to send out enough on any trade to get below that. Delon Wright plus Taj Gibson plus draft compensation works. Wright has another year at $8 million. That could be insurance against Tre getting an offer the Spurs don't want to match. I'd actually rate Wright as better than Tre. Tre gets to the basket better, but Wright is a better passer, defender and shooter. Gibson is washed, but so is Dieng.

I can’t see them taking Wright for another year. He is almost 31. If Tre bounces, we can just run point by committee.

We need salary to make the floor. I’d rather just take Will Barton and draft comp.

If it's Washington, they can't trade a pick until '28 or '29. An unprotected '28 pick would be great.

Absolute dream scenario: We get Washington's '28 unprotected pick. Lottery comes around and Washington wins #1.... Boston wins #2... and we have both picks

[Ariel]

OK, another scenario as Boston's interest surfaces again: Poeltl for Gallinari, Pritchard, unrestricted '28 Boston pick (promoted from swap). Please, someone offer something, for God sakes!

I'd prefer Trent Jr. and Raptors 2023 pick

Spurs:

Danilo Gallinari (13.2mm guaranteed, 6.4mm 22/23 torn ACL out for season and 6.8mm 23/24)
Peyton Prichard (2.1mm 22/23 and 4mm team option 23/24)
BOS 2026 FRP (lightly protected?)
BOS 2028 FRP (swap lifted, SA gets pick unprotected)

Celtics:

Poeltl

I didn't read that option anywhere, but in any case, I'm pretty certain Masai isn't giving up an unprotected, projected high lottery pick, with a real shot at Wemby, for a better than average center at an expiring contract. That on top of Trent Jr. If a 1st round pick is involved, it's likely protected, and in the distant future.

[Ariel]

It's interesting to note that Gallinari's contract is FULLY GUARANTEED and RUNS ONE MORE SEASON BEYOND THIS ONE. So basically we wouldn't just be trading them Poeltl, we'd be taking an extra 6M a year for one more year. So they're both adding a valuable piece, and dumping an undesirable contract. That elevates the price tag.

I'm that case we might keep Galinari into the summer and assess options then.

TOR pick top 2 or 4 protected would be best case scenario, but it requires Masai to believe this is a weak draft class. Top 8 protected still runs too high of a risk of not conveying.

[heyheymymy]

maybe lift those protections on the 26 pick then lol

2 clean FRPs

I might throw in that MIA 2028 2RP to seal the deal

[Dverde]

No way Raptors giving up their pick this year.

Top 8 is fine as long as the protection drops to top 4 next season and unprotected after that...

[Ariel]

Gallinari is unlikely to be of any use on the court for the remainder of his contract. He'll be a negative asset until next trade deadline, where he could be used as an expiring filler in a larger trade.

[scott]

No way Raptors giving up their pick this year.

I tend to agree, unless Masai feels this is a weak draft. I really want us to find a way into the back end of the lottery for a guy like Black.

I'd even go as far to offer:

Jak + 2025 SAS FRP (unprotected) for Top 2 Protected TOR pick in 2023 (unprotected in 2024 if does not convey).

I'm assuming we will be better than ATL by 2025, but you can send theirs instead of ours if we think we'll still be rebuilding.

[poopbox]

Raptors pining to get Poeltl back is pretty weird

[exstatic]

I'd prefer Trent Jr. and Raptors 2023 pick

That’s a fever dream. No one is trading a potential lottery pick at the deadline.

[The Truth #6]

What a great life he has.

That's my point...
