Golden State Warriors Land Jakob Poeltl
San Antonio Spurs Receive: C James Wiseman
Golden State Warriors Receive: C Jakob Poeltl
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
James Wiseman has had a disappointing NBA career so far. He’s flashed potential, but not nearly often enough to contribute to a team with championship aspirations.
Of course, at 20-20, the Golden State Warriors haven’t looked the part of a team with championship aspirations this season. That needs to change. After all, this is the team that won the title last year.
Adding Jakob Poeltl would help them defend it. He’s an excellent defensive big with the playmaking chops to hang in Golden State’s motion system.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs are in a perfect position to take a gamble on the much younger Wiseman.
This is a deal that makes perfect sense for both sides.
