Jazz trade for John Collins

Still like KO on team
He can just be pushed down the depth chart and situational with less minutes
 
I wonder if the naysayers can find someone who hates this move from our perspective and represents one of the following:
A) National media
B) Jazz beat writers
C) Hawks beat writers
D) Hawks fan base

So far Ive tried searching but weirdly everyone seems to like this trade for us and be sad/neutral for the Hawks having to do this.

Oh and about the opportunity cost and handicapping our cap flexibility... Bobby Marks did a vid where he was high praising our cap and roster flexibility after the trade. Apparently now we have both healthy current/future cap numbers as well as awesome collection of moveable salaries.
 
We have no small forwards or wings that’s why I thought the reason we were chasing kuzma when teams play small ball against us we will struggle
 
Few things.

• On the face, I don't hate this from a depth perspective. I don't know that Collins is better than Kuzma, but it's a better price point. I expect Hardy will have some uses for JC and if his shooting form recovers (which is should if the backhalf of last season is accurate), we're good. If Collins recovers his form, he becomes a very valuable asset to trade later on. He's also relatively young still. I wish we got an asset with it, but Collins will probably be enough of an asset by himself.

• Very funny that Gay gets traded out of Utah during Pride Month.

• I suspect Hendricks will still get minutes, just not as much as I was hoping.

• Can Lauri run the 3 as a Point Forward?

If he stays I think Collins or KO/Hendricks operate as the backup 5... which hopefully means there is at least 15+ minutes for both guys. I think KO may be on the move... but not guaranteed.

sup dudes. Happy to see that some of the board's best are still here. Lost access to my old account, but wanted to pop in a few times this summer and get your takes about a few things.

(1) Our front court is pretty stacked and match-up proof at this point. (2) Off ball, we should have plenty of screening and secondary playmaking from the advantages that we create there. I like what I see in (1) and (2), but I think we'll really struggle without a primary playmaker to orchestrate. I moaned when we acquired Conley (price, age, etc.), but he'd be perfect for this team at this stage. Lowry (plus some draft capital) would be a great get.

We probably/basically can't do that Lowry deal now.
