Impressive work by Jakob Poeltl and his agents to turn down the max extension of 4/$58. He gets a reported $22m more (we’ll see on incentives) plus the PO. – 6:54 PM

It could take $15-20 million annually to sign Jakob Poeltl

Does anyone know a good example of a player like Jakob Poeltl being traded mid-season only to return to his former team in the offseason? i.e. Jak returning to San Antonio this summer.
Aroldis Chapman did it with the Yankees and the Cubs – 11:24 AM

I really struggle with the notion that the Raptors were tangibly better with Jakob Poeltl. I know their record improved but who did they beat? Denver (who didn’t seem to care), Miami (who was in a funk), teams missing their best players, and tanking teams – 10:42 AM

More on this storyline
Jakob Poeltl is expected to receive strong interest from the Raptors, Spurs and Rockets in free agency, league sources told HoopsHype. There’s a belief around the league that Poeltl could command around $20 million annually and could end free agency with a deal in the ballpark of three years, $20 million, according to NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / June 29, 2023
Poeltl’s return at the right deal has generally been considered a given with the working assumption that a four-year deal worth something around $80 million would do the trick but things can happen and there are few discounts offered in the NBA. Multiple league sources have said the San Antonio Spurs have inquired about the possibility of a reunion with Poeltl as a veteran centre alongside No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama, who they project as a stretch four, at least on offence. -via SportsNet / June 28, 2023
