If you happened to miss the big NBA news from Wednesday morning, former University of Utah center Jakob Poeltl was traded from Toronto to San Antonio.
In other news, Jimmer Fredette’s old college nemesis was also traded.
After months of dramatic build up the Alamo area hasn’t experienced since PeeWee Herman discovered the old fort doesn’t have a basement, San Antonio shipped disgruntled Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to Toronto in exchange for Poeltl, DeMar DeRozan and a protected 2019 first-round pick.
Leonard wanted out — preferably to the Lakers, it’s been reported — and the Spurs made that happen.
