Jakob Poeltl, Raptors Could Agree To Deal Worth $20M Per Season

Jun 28, 2023 11:37 AM

The Toronto Raptors acquire Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline from the San Antonio Spurs and are positioned to re-sign him in free agency.

Marc Stein of Substack reports there is "a strong belief that Jakob Poeltl is poised to re-sign with Toronto in the $20 million range annually."

The Raptors drafted Poeltl 9th overall in the 2016 draft out of Utah and traded him to the Spurs in 2018 as part of the Kawhi Leonard deal. The Raptors traded their 2024 first round pick, a 2023 second round pick and a 2025 second round pick to reacquire Poeltl. 

Poeltl rejected overtures of an extension from the Spurs early in the 22-23 season as they could only offer a deal that averaged approximately $14 million per season.
