RealGM reports Jazz interested in Trading for John Collins

[Elizah Huge]

The reason Lauri has been successful for us is that we have made him more of a focal point and he needs to be even more of a focal point based on results when he gets more shots. There is simply no way to maximize Collins without being a detriment to Lauri and I prefer to develop Lauri.

The quality of the shots he gets is what is huge for him too though.

We should absolutely always be in the market for guys like this if it’s a buy low opportunity. You guys overthink things way too much sometimes.

What about some combo of KO, NAW, gay, or doke to the hawks, Collins to the cavs and love and a second rounder or two back to utah. Utah will have some expiring salary to sell next offseason and love can give us what KO is giving.
It gets Atlanta out of cap problems next year. And gives the cavs a core for quite a while. Also opens up some roster spots for some guys potentially and allows opportunity maybe for potter to get a little time.

Also, you can just take a flyer on a dude who has 4 years left on his contract (last year player option) who is owed 25 million per season. You have to be sure.

Like I'd rather overpay Kuzma next off-season, a guy who I'm pretty sure would fit our offense, over trading for Collins.

It's not like Collins has Lonzo Ball talent level that could truly be a game changer for us.

Right. I see what you’re saying Cy. But I see the jazz interests as more of a flipping a house or flipping a car. It does say the jazz are interested in trading but not why.

I only say this, because our offense allows any type of player to come in and do their thing. If the kid can raise his value in under a year and we can turn him for a first rounder or something idk. But like you, I just don’t see any reason the jazz would want to add him to as a permanent fixture.

If FO think Collins is a good fit then so be it. We won all the trades and it has been awesome. Lauri and Sexton and picks for dm, beasley, kessler, vanderbilt and picks for rudy, pat Beverly for THT, Olynyk for bogey and Royce for 1st Rd pick! We are playing 10 guys a night and we are on top. Carry on Lord Danny!

I would consider the following trade:

Clarkson + Gay for Collins straight up.

I think that if there is any one player who doesn't fit the style of basketball we are playing it's Clarkson. He is still a black hole even if he is sharing the ball more. If they want a big, we can add Azibuike to the trade easy enough. I think Beasley's a better fit and a better shooter.

But trading away our top scorer probably makes scoring more difficult for everyone else and so it's not a slam dunk trade by any stretch of the imagination. I think it would be justifiable by giving Clarkson's minutes to Sexton, Beasley, and Ochai. Collins would be taking minutes from KO, Gay, and Clarkson too.

Conley's injury status probably affects this as well.

How can you be a Jazz fan and suggest trading Jordan Clarkson for John Collins?

The question I have is, why? He doesn't move the needle in any direction and will cost us assets and eat into the salary cap. Can't see this being a thing.

Still this question has never been answered.
