However, Toronto is rumored to be seeking more than a first-round pick for Poeltl (and perhaps even two). It’s the kind of price the Lakers just wouldn’t pay for a player like him, likely requiring they trade Rui Hachimura and maybe two first-round picks for a center who, ultimately, plays the same position as Davis — only worse.

Centre Jakob Poeltl and wing Ochai Agbaji are available to suit up for the Raptors as they take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, head coach Darko Rajakovic told reporters.
