HoopsHype by Michael Scotto: NBA Notebook Rumors (Spurs Edition)



# Jakob Poeltl, Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson trade values

The San Antonio Spurs are considered a potential trade deadline seller in the eyes of NBA executives around the league with a trio of enticing veterans.

While the current asking price for **Jakob Poeltl** is two first-round picks, multiple executives who spoke with HoopsHype believe the Spurs can get one first-round pick for Poeltl, but two is unlikely given he’ll enter unrestricted free agency and could potentially earn roughly $20 million annually this summer. If the Spurs can get a first-round pick and a solid young player, it might be the middle ground to get a deal done.

If San Antonio keeps Poeltl past the deadline, the Spurs would seemingly pay to keep him since they wouldn’t want to lose an asset of his caliber for nothing.

If traded, Poeltl’s new team would also have pressure to retain him in free agency, especially if the team gave up a first-round pick to acquire him.

Veteran sharpshooter **Doug McDermott** could command one or two second-round picks on the trade market depending on the pick number and any protections, league sources told HoopsHype. McDermott has shot 41.8 percent from downtown during his Spurs tenure and is owed $13.75 million **next season**.

Veteran wing **Josh Richardson** is also available for a second-round pick, league sources told HoopsHype. Richardson, a 29-year-old 3-and-D swingman, will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
