The Spurs can only give Poeltl a four-year, $58 millionextension right now, but the free agent-to-be will get more thanthat in the offseason.

Woj adds that the Spurs like Poeltl and would like to keep him,even if they win the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes, but they couldmove him if an overwhelming offer comes. Poeltl is drawing interestfrom contenders looking to upgrade their frontcourt.
