Poeltl likes what he’s seen and believes there are better days ahead, and he’ll be ready to listen. “I haven’t given (my contract) any thought, like, those conversations are gonna start coming once the season ends, and I’m assuming pretty quickly after the season ends,” he said. “I haven’t had any conversations yet. But big picture, I mean, for sure … I’ve bought into this process and I’ve kind of gone through the tough times already. So, this is my home right now and I really hope it’s gonna be in the future as well.”

More on this storyline
It’s why the Raptors rebuffed any interest in teams trying to acquire Poeltl at the trade deadline by keeping their asking price at the high-end of the market — believed to be two good first-round picks or some equivalent. Instead, it’s likely that the Raptors — who have Poeltl under contract next season before a player option kicks in ahead of the 2026-27 season — will engage in discussions on a contract extension that will keep Poeltl in Toronto through the rest of his prime. -via SportsNet / March 6, 2025
