The San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets have discussed a trade of PJ Washington, Kai Jones, and a potential first-round draft pick for Jakob Poeltl, per Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype.
Poeltl has been one of the most underrated centers in the NBA, ranking among the league leaders in field goal percentage, blocks per game, net rating, shots contested, and screen assists.
Rumors have circulated that Charlotte has been looking for an upgrade at the five, and Jakob would be a steal. The Austrian seven-footer will make a combined $18.
