The real MVP packed his broom for Denver trip

The San Antonio Spurs are known to be listening to trade offers for Jakob Poeltl. However, San Antonio is asking for a significant return for their prized center.

The Spurs are telling teams they want two first-round picks in any deal that involves Poeltl. San Antonio doesn’t feel they are in a position where they have to move Poeltl, as they hold his Bird rights as an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Multiple teams, including the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors, have shown interest in trading for Poeltl. The Spurs are willing to trade him, but would need an offer they can’t refuse, per reports.

Last season, San Antonio put a similar asking price on guard Derrick White. He was eventually traded to Boston for a single first-round pick and top-one protected swap rights in a future draft.
