Why The San Antonio Spurs Do The Deal
They say that if you’re going to do anything, you might as well do it right.
The San Antonio Spurs are tanking this season. With that in mind, they may as well tank right. Moving Poeltl for assets is a good start toward achieving that goal.
After all, the Spurs may be near the bottom of the standings, but they’re not at them. The Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, and Charlotte Hornets all have better lottery odds at this moment. The Spurs might as well race harder to the bottom.
Meanwhile, it’s been suggested that they want two first-round picks in exchange for Poeltl. That may be a slightly high asking price.
