RealGM reports Jazz interested in Trading for John Collins

Hold it till next summer when Conley would become an expiring with his last year being partially guaranteed. Save Atlanta tons of money and allow them to clear cap space in 2024 to pursue another big name FA. We get Collins and possibly a couple of second rounders as sweetener

I think Collins is at least partially a victim of The Chucker. If I was a pro basketball player the guy I would least wanna play with would be either Luka or Trae.

Luka plays more solo ball but at least he takes somewhat reasonable shots. Imagine watching Trae chuck contested off balance 3s from 30ft out while you haven touched the ball in the last 3 minutes on offense.

Yep. People think because Trae averages so many assists he would be fun to play with but I really don't think that is the case.

Well, he is shooting 22% from three this year.

Their team is a mess. Two ball dominant guards who are shooting 30% from three, one big who is only a lob threat (Capella) and Collins who is best served as a lob threat but is parked in a corner where like you say he is shooting terribly. No idea why they chose Huerter to be the guy to sacrifice for salary cap reasons.

Given his contract and the fact they are locked into the roster they have, Collins value is incredibly low. A good buy low candidate although I'm not sure of the long term fit.
 
Any trade for John Martin Collins 3 should be abrogated. When he throws the ball at the goal from the 3 point line, it only enters at a rate of 22 percent. For an empiricist, a scientist, this is unacceptable! Throw him back to Trae Young! Watch them in Atlanta pay millions of dollars for deficient players.
 
Oh, so the Jazz are buyers now? Hawks are going to ask for draft capital.

That said, if I were John Collins, I'd rather have Mike Conley setting me up than watch Trae Young hoist from 30 feet.

Yet have a pretty good record somehow. 9-6 and 3rd seed in the eastern conference.

He's a career 35ish percent...
