Raptors trade rumours: Jakob Poeltl among targets, suitors emerge for Fred VanVleet

The Toronto Raptors have emerged as a potential suitor for San Antonio Spurs centre Jakob Poeltl, according to multiple reports.

On Tuesday, Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer reported the big man remains a target for the Raptors, as he reported in December. The Athletic's Shams Charania also reported on Toronto's interest in the 27-year-old Tuesday, saying the Austria native "has gained significant trade interest from teams such as the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics."

Per Charania's report, Poeltl reportedly rejected San Antonio’s maximum extension offer of four years and $58 million before the season.
