This Celtics-Spurs Trade Sends Jakob Poeltl To Boston

San Antonio Spurs — NBA Analysis Network

Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs won’t be the best anything in 2022-23. That’s kind of the point of this deal.

They should be shopping Jakob Poeltl. At 26, he is officially off this team’s timeline. By the time this team is ready to contend again, he’ll probably just be exiting his prime.

The Spurs should be much more attracted to a player like Payton Pritchard. He’s a high-feel floor general who provides elite spacing to boot. Size and athletic limitations may keep him from stardom, but at 24, he could be part of this rotation for a long time.

Furthermore, the Spurs land a first-round pick to spare. Granted, it’s lottery protected. They shouldn’t get too greedy here, since they’re landing Pritchard as well. The Celtics will be unlikely to land in the lottery anyway.
