Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

IMO Poeltl is going nowhere. I think TOR would have to give up way too much in draft capital and talent, to get some team to choke down that contract, and will instead opt to ride it out. He first needs to get back on the floor and play well, and stay healthy, so that he is seen as having some value for the team who might trade for him (rather than just being dead money).

The only possibility I could envision is a trade involving another bad contract, perhaps with a mismatch of the length of the contract plus draft compensation.
