Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

I know it wasn't popular the first time I mentioned his name as a possibility for using the TPE to acquire more assets, but it has to be on the table, no? What would it take to stomach? This year's pick (#19) plus another unprotected first rounder?

IMO Poeltl is going nowhere. I think TOR would have to give up way too much in draft capital and talent, to get some team to choke down that contract, and will instead opt to ride it out. He first needs to get back on the floor and play well, and stay healthy, so that he is seen as having some value for the team who might trade for him (rather than just being dead money).
