Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal 

In fact, the Spurs have spent the last several years on the league’s mediocrity treadmill. 

Every year, the Spurs aren’t good enough to make the playoff, but they’re too good to land a lottery pick. This season, they were expected to finally bottom out.

So far, they’re failing to do so. 

Having a strong defensive big man like Poeltl may be part of the reason. That’s the main draw of this deal for the Spurs – they’re looking to bottom out in order to maximize their lottery odds ahead of a strong draft.
