Poetl is a decent starting center but will be an UFA at the end of the season. Does Gregg Popovich think this is Rudy Gobert? :lol:

It's not officially trade season until we get reports of every team "seeking multiple 1st round picks" for their average starters and role-players.

The fact that the Gobert trade ruined the trade market makes dudes like Poeltl look like they actually have elite value, and he doesn't.

LOL @ Raptors seeking "multiple unprotected 1sts" for Anunoby like he's a superstar player.

Ya they're both laughably stupid but at least in the Raptors case, it means we don't wanna trade OG. Poeltl is a free agent and most likely leaving the Spurs in the offseason so it's kinda different.

That’s a high asking price for a UFA who can just be signed outright in the offseason.

Ask the T-Wolves who overpaid for a 30 year old center.

Poetl is a decent starting center but will be an UFA at the end of the season. Does Gregg Popovich think this is Rutdy Gober?

Why do people still think Pop does everything on the Spurs?

And I am seeking a larger than realistic raise at my job

Because they don't think

Seems like a high asking price but you have to start negotiations somewhere. If it ends up being a contending team that trades for him then the pick would be in the late 20's. Make it a 1st and 2nd and it starts to seem more realistic.

The question is if Popovich thinks that Brian Wright (Spurs GM) is Danny Ainge.

But the Raptors only used 1 first round pick to draft him.

Spurs smoking some amazing legalized, medicinal mary J on those Denver away games.

Well, if he is worth that as an expiring, then the Jazz got screwed in the Gobert deal.

lol, that was my first though. I can get not knowing the Spur's GM is Brian Wright, but forgetting RC is unthinkable.

Starting high is a negotiation tactic. They'll settle for a 1st, maybe with an additional 2nd, though much of it also depends on who the matching salary coming back is.

Lol that Gobert trade made everyone high as ****.

Hawks seeking Mitchell-like package for John Collins. And now Spurs seeking 2 first round picks for an average Center….in an era where you don’t pay centers big money/resources unless they’re superstars/pseudo stars.
