Jazz trade for John Collins

[NUMBERICA]

Bruh the Reaves thing wasn't happening

When 29 teams agree they get him for the MLE. We own a nice piece of draft capital and have a vested interest in at least making them pay a fair salary.

Remember all, Ainge said he wasn’t in for a long rebuild….

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I just don't love this... whether Ainge loves him or not... just feels like the THT and KO deals where I had hoped we'd get a bit more for what we gave. I think KO gets moved but who knows.

I get what they are going for... I think.

I, for one, am excited to see what Will and the coaching staff do for JC's game and commitment. He's going to enjoy playing here exponentially more than Atlanta is my guess.

Here's exactly what you said last night:

For Bufkin. Let's be even slightly intellectually honest here.

I made a mistake interacting with you.

We gave up more to get rid of Favors on a much better less expensive contract.

Favors was worthless. Collins is a starter.

DA just keeps stockpiling talent
That seems very good

I'll keep Gay's expiring contract and keeping a 2nd, thanks. I appreciate the positivity.

No thanks, I would have given a pick to never watch Gay play for us again.

We should be a crazy good rebounding team.

Again, to me this just solidifies how monumentally stupid it was to draft THREE rookies this year.

However, really I think it signifies more trades to come. We are converting assets into higher-level assets, so I expect more of this to happen. I could see us flipping Collins, or one or more of the rookies, by the trade deadline for more assets or asset upgrades. But in a vacuum this is the most redundant trade we could have made, given our draft and current personnel.

But if you can get an obvious NBA talent for essentially stuff you have laying around the house, well you just do it and figure the other **** out later. Whether it is really a good move or not depends on what happens next.

That is such a weird take away. I'm stoked we used all 3 picks and this trade doesn't change anything really. We needed another pf/c and Collins fits in perfectly.

I'm sure Rudy Gay and Quin are absolutely thrilled to be reunited.
