>Per multiple sources around the league, the Toronto Raptors are a “lock” to bring back center Jakob Poeltl, whom the team initially drafted at No. 9 in 2016. He was a necessary sacrifice in 2018, sent to the San Antonio Spurs in a package for Kawhi Leonard.
>
>The Spurs sent him back to Toronto in February, and the Raptors didn’t give up a protected 2024 first-round pick to rent his services for a few months. While Toronto has several decisions to make this offseason concerning the future of Pascal Siakam, O.G. Anunoby, Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr., pencil Poeltl back with the team.
>
>The question will be price, and Poeltl may not find significant interest from the teams with cap space, likely placing him in the NTMLE range. That might lead Toronto to pay him in the $13-15 million starting range.

~15 per season is a pretty good price
Ofc. He was the one of the 3 (FVV, GTJ, yak) that we absolutely had to bring back.
Keep OG and Scottie, and figure out the backcourt
I’d certainly hope so
Thanks Minkus. I mean Pincus.

Makes sense. Very hard to find players with his skill set.
