According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Spurs are trading Jakob Poeltl to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Khem Birch, a protected 2024 first-round draft pick, and two future second-round picks.

Poeltl was initially drafted by the Raptors with the 9th pick back in 2016 and played for two seasons in the organization before getting involved in the DeMar DeRozan trade and shipping his talents to the Spurs.

The Spurs now have 13 first-round picks until the 2029 NBA Draft. Wojnarowski notes that the expectation is that the team will acquire even more before the trade deadline on Thursday.
