Ahead of the NBA trade deadline, the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs reportedly discussed a trade centered around center Jakob Poeltl, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
The Hornets were in discussions to send P.J. Washington, Kai Jones and a first-round pick to the Spurs for Poeltl. However, the two teams were unable to complete the deal ahead of the 3 p.m. EST deadline on Thursday as the hang-up was apparently over the inclusion of a first-round pick.
Poeltl was ultimately not dealt and will stay with the Spurs.
