RAPTORS BLOG from wolstatsun: Quick reaction to Raptors bringing back Jakob Poeltl and what's next
They never wanted to deal Poeltl, a key part of the Kawhi Leonard deal ) and had tried for over a year to try to repatriate the big man.
This piece is being written about five hours before the trade deadline and there’s obviously more to come, but here are some initial thoughts:Article content — Poeltl is a great fit. He is an elite rim defender, an excellent rebounder and an excellent passer for a 7-footer . He sets excellent screens and already has great built-in chemistry on and off the court with Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and O.G. Anunoby .— Have to think this increases the chances yet again that Pascal Siakam is a Raptor for years. Acquiring his other best friend after going out and getting some of his favourite developmental coaches in consecutive summers would indicate that.
