Why would Ainge do this?
Utah owes its FRP next year to OKC top 10 protected and they're trying to make the playoffs so it conveys. I don't really know how much Collins and his bad contract moves the needle though. Not sure this really changes anything for them in the western conference pecking order
How much cap space for ATL now? I don't think anyone would want to actively go there, but money talks
They have a $25.3 million trade exception.
theyre still above the cap. but they have access to the full MLE now and a trade exception, if im not mistaken
Getting traded for the corpse of Rudy Gay? Ouch. And you have to live and play in Utah? Double ouch
collins was born in utah
plus their froncourt looks nice tbh
Getting traded for Rudy Gay....man I'm glad the Spurs didn't acquire Collins.
Remember when ST was outraged that we signed Zollins, instead of John Collins
Apparently his shooting hand ring finger is permanently messed up, that's why his 3pt% dropped.Remember when ST was outraged that we signed Zollins, instead of John Collins
Google it, doesn't look pretty.
This makes sense. They don't control their own draft in 2025-2027 so they will be in win-now mode until at least 2028.
What we have to hope for as Spurs fans is that their efforts fail spectacularly. Paying Trae Young $178M over the next 4 years certainly helps our cause.
also gives them a floor if he's healthy. i dont like him, but he's an offensive engine
Part of me buys the “he just needs a new situation” argument with this guy. I don’t dislike this for Utah.
The Hawks have "spectacular fail" written all over them. Let's hope at least.
I've watched him a fair bit. He's good not great.
He can help them, but is the contract worth it...
It's a close one
til landry fields is the hawks gm........the spurs fleece of the hawks trade pics now makes sense.......fields was a spurs scount/front office member........
Dang, you ain't joking; Collins finger is ed up!
I believe Murray deal was under the previous GM, Schlenk—and it was rumored to have been driven by the owners’ son. But Landry Fields was in favor of doing the deal and he subsequently became the GM once Schlenk resigned/got fired.til landry fields is the hawks gm
^ Correct, and it’s sounds like Schlenk didn’t want to do it. But who knows with narratives these days
The Hawks will still likely trade Capela and/or Hunter, but they won't be salary dumps.
I'd like the fit better for the Jazz if Collins is converted into a 6th man, but as a starter, he'll still be forced into more of a floor spacing than rim running role and Markkanen will continue to be forced to defend SF's.
Yeah, Schlenk came from the Warriors, which means he's probably well connected to and protected by the majority of national media big wigs.
Collins isn't a ty player, but at that contract he's a ty player. Don't get these last two moves by him -- Conley and two decent role-players for a single distant first round pick. And then taking on a pretty unmoveable contract for a declining player.
Jazz building that front court to battle wemby
With... John Collins?
and lauri and kessler apparently
Is this a joke?
