Jakob Poeltl — center — likely restricted
While Poeltl may simply re-sign with the San Antonio Spurs, there’s a possibility the team chooses to move on with an expensive payroll, little postseason outlook and few other options to do something about it.
Poeltl isn’t especially sexy of an add, as he’s mostly just on a roster to counter other, slow but massive bigs and to protect the rim near-basket.
However, the German big man can pass the rock fairly well and finish on the other end of the ball as well, potentially even spot starting against logical matchups.
Odds are good he’ll return to the Spurs given his qualifying offer is just $5.1 million, but he’d be a solid young pickup is San Antonio isn’t in the mood to hold onto his rights through a retooling season or three.
