The Raptors are a hot topic around the NBA as the trade deadline approaches
Per Charania's report, Poeltl reportedly rejected San Antonio’s maximum extension offer of four years and $58 million before the season. He will likely command north of $20 million per season this summer as an unrestricted free agent. Poeltl reportedly intends on playing for a contender — as well as earning a lucrative contract — and with the Spurs ostensibly setting themselves up for the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes, they disqualify themselves from the conversation.
The addition of Poeltl, who Toronto drafted ninth overall in 2016, would augment the team's frontcourt, creating a level of stability at their centre position that has been lacking this season. In his last season with the Raptors, Poeltl averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists. His numbers have jumped across the board since then, with averages of 12.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season.
