Sources indicate that there is a high probability that Poeltl will be sent away by the Spurs before the trade deadline.
The two sides are about to part ways, mainly because of the lack of negotiations on salaries.
Poeltl's brokerage team is trying to get a contract with an annual salary of about $20 million and is expected to be 80 million in 4 years.
The Spurs, on the other hand, can only open 58 million for 4 years at most, which is seriously not in line with the expectations of the former.
The reporter who accompanied the team revealed that Poeltl had rejected an early contract extension offered by the Spurs.
At 2.16 meters, Poeltl is a defensively focused blue-collar center.
In the 2016 draft, he was selected by the Raptors with the No. 7 pick in the first round and sent away two years later in a trade for Leonard.
This season, Poeltl has played one of the best performances of his career.
Averaged 12.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and shot 63 percent from the field.
In the last game against the Kings, he scored 23 points and seven rebounds on 10-of-12 shooting, including 16 points in the first half.
Tough defense, honest attitude, solid blocking, and a certain amount of mid-range shooting are all strengths of Poeltl.
The Spurs once regarded it as a non-sale, but in the face of realistic salary problems, they eventually had to consider giving up.
After all, for Poeltl, at the age of 27, honor and money are the preferred goals.
The Spurs are certainly good at nurturing themselves, but the team is going through a rebuild, and it is irresponsible to take a salary cut to stay on the team.
Currently, several teams on free agency are willing to trade for Poeltl.
The Celtics, Raptors and Golden State Warriors are the three teams with the strongest interest.
But given that the Spurs have not yet given a substantial asking price, they are still waiting and waiting for the right time to shoot.
Of these three teams, the Warriors have the best chance of getting Poeltl, after all, they have more chips in hand.
One Wiseman is not enough, then add Kuminga & Moody or Baldwin Jr., brothers, what do you think?
