This week it was reported that the Celtics are interested in acquiring Spurs center Jakob Poeltl in a trade.
Boston is not the only team in on Poeltl, however, as Toronto is expected to try and reunite with him before this year’s trade deadline. Depending on the desperation of the Raptors, who currently sit a half game out of the Eastern Conference play-in, the price for Poeltl may get too high for the Celtics.
If Boston decides to bow out of the Poeltl race, there are other centers that could be available if the Celtics come calling.
