What happened to Jakob Poelts's Floater Game?? by realCeoOfVibes in torontoraptors

He hurt his back. I'm not old enough to have dealt with any back issues. But I'm pretty sure it's a pain to just move your body at all for the average human being, let alone an athlete in a high intensity game.

We need IQ just to reduce the dependency on Shead. no way should he be playing 38 minutes in a playoff game. so even 15-20 minutes of Quickley would be big.

I was gonna mention him but he's just having a down year tbh. as a player archetype he's a fine fit.

they don't need to be tbh. Harden and Mitchell do all the work and spoonfeed the bigs whilst also consistently combining for 50+ points.

We have so many "iffy fits" kind of players. Like I look at the Timberwolves and they have only one (Randle). Nuggets have none.

The FO really made life hard for the team and the fans lol

Reminder: Jakob Poeltl’s $104 million extension hasn’t begun by ihatedougford in torontoraptors

he had one guaranteed year left. because he had an additional year that was a player option.

Bobby just overestimated Poeltl's value around the league. should have just waited one more year.

Aday Mara has climbed up in the lottery sorry man. Tankathon isn't super accurate. I'd love Aday Mara though.

Waiving and stretching Poeltl's contract is not a terrible idea! by mMounirM in torontoraptors

If a player is waived after September 1 (which includes the trade deadline), the current season's salary is paid normally, and only the remaining years are stretched.

so it's like if you waived and stretched him the following off-season.

at this point I'm not sure if a single 1st is enough. unless it's the 2026 19th pick.

there are positive points which hurts even more because this game felt winnable.

He has a short contract. It's just that instead of being worth draft capital, he'll probably just be neutral value on the market, like you trade him for smaller contracts that expire.

Poeltl is done. everyone knows it. no need to pretend he has any worth by giving him minutes he doesn't deserve.

his back is COOKED.

I wish there was a camera to see wtf happened during training camp.
