Why the Spurs should trade Jakob Poeltl

Related Topics: Jakob Pöltl, Victor Wembanyama

Jakob Poeltl has been a fixture in trade rumors and seems like a natural candidate to be moved before the deadline, but the reports about the Spurs wanting to actually retain him, keep coming up. To even consider trading him, apparently, San Antonio is asking for two first-rounders. which feels like an unrealistic price for someone who could be a rental.

It’s always hard to parse through what’s real and what’s just posturing, as the Spurs could simply be trying to inflate Poeltl’s value with leaks while being willing to part with him for a more reasonable return.
