They've got to do something to stem the tide and appease Ball. I realize Poeltl isn't a starry name, but he could go aways to helping stabilize the defense and the cost isn't prohibitive enough to prevent them from attempting to but their way into the sweepstakes for the next star.
In terms of '23, top 10 protected would have a chance to convey, but obviously it couldn't be exclusive to next year.
Maybe or maybe the Spurs would be fine with another pick further out, so long as it's a likely late lottery one.
