Making the Case: San Antonio Spurs
It seems as though the San Antonio Spurs have been looking for a trade partner for Jakob Poeltl for years now. Entering the final year of his deal, they might be able to move him.
The focus for the Spurs is to build around Dejoune Murray. Adding talent to complement him goes a long way in their efforts to get back into the playoffs.
Vucevic has experience playing with dynamic guards. He knows how to act as a pick-and-roll big man and brings versatility because of his ability to step out to the three-point line.
When Vucevic is playing off the ball, he can bring a floor-spacing threat to make it easier for Murray to attack, given he’s reliant on getting into the paint.

Getting Poeltl’s contract off the books and acquiring a player like Vucevic would have the Spurs going back in the right direction. They are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history, and the front office might be looking to speed up the rebuilding process.
