    Barnes + one of Wesley/Branham works money-wise too, but much more ideally you'd trade Keldon + Wesley/Branham because of the overlap at Guard that we already have + Spurs need all the size, shooting, and veteran leadership they can get right now tbh. I'd much rather rely on veterans like Barnes and John Collins in the Playoffs next year than young, unproven guys.

    this is the player that would make Mitch stop saying "Well, I think we lacked physicality" in every postgame presser. Currently one of the most underrated players in the NBA if you ask me.

    I think Will Hardy would much rather want Keldon as well

    Vassell for Collins + SRPs coming our way (more cash for Holt Jr to kick into the Project Marvel fund and/or hookers and blow)

    yes.


    better than sochan (currently). decent age. shoots, rebounds and thrives off-ball. consistent production. brings toughness and physicality.


    even factoring in ainge tax he shouldn't be too expensive to trade + sign long-term.


    don't expect it to happen though. there will be several serious suitors so PATFO will probably back down after their soft-ball initial offer gets rebuffed.

    last time spurs had a meaningful SRP selection was Tre Jones in 2020. before that it was 2011 with dejuan blair and nando de colo.

    we should absolutely be moving those picks lol
    Yea that's actually pretty depressing tbh. I trust PATFO's scouting department but I'd rather take swings on certain guys here and there than just punt on every SRP we own every year. Makes no sense that we're collecting them otherwise.

    No, he’s the new Otto Porter Jr. for Spurstalk. His good seasons are the anomalies.

    I would prefer PJ Washington over Collins because of the defense. But the price will be higher.

    Feels like PJ has that added nasty and toughness which would be worth something come playoff time.

    Porter was never the player Collins is tbh. And JC is on an expiring which means if it doesn't work out for whatever reason, nothing of real value was lost. If he does, he could likely re-signed on a reasonable deal imo.

    Yes. A Devin Vassell for Collins trade has been on my radar for a while. I'd also be willing to toss in several 2nds to get the job done.

    PJ Washington would be a solid add too. But like you said, he'd likely be pricier and not sure Dallas wants to deal him within the same division. Then again Nico Collins is a ing moron so who knows. I'm sure there have already been conversations between he and PATFO regarding PJ though.

    I would say no.
    Atlanta moved on from Utah doesn't want him
    Dated reference that sums him up

    If Collins is so great why did Atlanta trade him away for Rudy Gay and a second rounder? Why did the Spurs not want Collins added to the Dejounte trade? Why is Utah trying to trade him now? I don’t see the Hawks wanting him back, they know he is overrated. He’s basically Keldon, a player that had some promising years, but everyone knows is overpaid now. The only reason his salary looks okay is the entire league is giving out bigger contracts since he signed his. I don’t want to pay this guy 30M a year on an extension. Some dumb team will probably give him close to that based on his stat padding year on a bad tanking team.

    I've long been a Collins stan, but I think folks are overrating him on this current team. If he doesn't start, he's not really an ideal backup center, and I don't know that he would start over a big wing PF. I think this past year was a sign that there's still a place for lineups with two interior bigs in certain situations. But Collins kind of splits the difference between a perimeter PF and a traditional big in a way that doesn't seem to get the true benefits of either. Ultimately, the weaknesses he shores up are those that must be addressed by all the players on the team. They cannot just be outsourced to some new players. Getting Collins or other bigs like Portis could help, but those guys aren't going to be playing the minutes the main guys will, and it's the main guys who have to carry their own weight. They did that for stretches last year, but they did keep it up the way they needed to.

    stupid takes. Utah doesn't want him cause he hurts their tank. That's why they had him sit out every second game because he was giving them a chance to win.

    ATL moved on from Collins because he had a season where he played through a finger injury on his shooting hand and thus had a down season.

    I don't think anybody here want him as a back up C. If we trade for Collins it's to play him as the starting PF next to Wemby.

    I don’t follow the Utah jazz and jerk off to John Collins highlights. So the guy who gets hurt got hurt and you want to trade for him since he’s all healed up now
