Jazz trade for John Collins

[jumpin bean]

Collins going to ball the **** out and fans of others teams are going to be pissed that we got him for free.

Collins will ball out just like Lauri did coming to Utah. Collins was put into a coma standing in the corner every time down never to hardly seeing the ball, in Utah when we get him in transition goin to see some monster dunks, also rebounds well and has emotion when awake and involved, plus those 2 first rounders hawks wanted are ours still.

Lauri's glow up was awesome... something like that may not happen again... I would not be chasing Lauri 2.0 glow up on guys.

Not sure that is the idea here but if it is... not a big fan.

You CANNOT rely on those type of developments with every single player you trade for. This is NOT sustainable.

The Jazz didn't do that trade for Lauri Markkanen. They did it mainly for the picks. Lauri just won most improved NBA player. Expecting that type of improvement IMO is fool's errand.

It's funny to me people dislike this trade when they loved the Hendricks pick

Collins is the more talented version of Hendricks.

Looking back at last year when it was reported we were interested I threw out a KO + Vando + Gay for Collins straight up deal. Ainge said watch this and did it without KO + Vando. God tier ****.

Speaking of Lauri, taking this deal eats into basically all of the flexibility the Jazz would've had before doing the renegotiate and extend the following year.

In other words, this is pretty much it now for building in the next two years. I don't think they flip Collins for at least another season and a half.

Cool, the Cavs gave us Lauri when everyone thought he'd be out of the league after joining us too,

This is not the same. The Finnisher never got the kind of usage we gave him in CHI or CLE.
Collins was that guy before he got busted, and has never been the same.
If he goes back to being the player he was 4 years ago, great I am wrong.
the odds say otherwise

I love Hendricks but if Hendricks turned into Collins that would be a win. Just a few years ago before the Hawks went Trae centric he averaged 20/10 on good efficiency.

Is it? Dude averaged 22 ppg one year.

In other news the Suns are hosting Stanley Johnson and Jabari Parker for free agent tryouts.

Kind of sad for Stanley Johnson and Jabari Parker that they've been relegated to homeytennis' interest...

Gay's finally gone and Collins' 78M are not from my pocket, so I feel better now than yesterday.

I remember earlier in the year someone here posting a link to some Hawks board, where people there were legitimately saying that Collins should be traded for Lauri and that's it.

What a difference half a year makes.
