Jazz trade for John Collins

[NAOS_pt2]

That's smart. I've tried to stop my Jazzfanz addiction, but never made it that long.

I might have to do it again fairly soon. ha. NAOS_pt3 coming soon.

I'm taking notes for not using the "wife recovery password" method anytime soon

How are you? Glad you are back. One of my favorite posters.

Hey dude. Likewise! I'm glad you're still here.

Overall, I'm good. Massive career overhaul. In the next few months I'll be moving across the country to the woods of western Massachusetts. We're just about to close a deal on a 19 acre lot and build a house, which has been a dream for 5-6 years now.

I don't know, I theoretically like the KO/Hendricks pairing against backups. KO might be great for Hendricks development.

I doubt KO is as good for Hendricks' development as playing basketball is.

OK, but for real, are we getting Luka or what? We have assembled the best set of complimentary players for a heliocentric superstar.....but our shinning star is.....Sexton?

Sexton gonna feast. Career year incoming

He’s the #9 pick, so when’s he going to play?

Are we expecting collins to just play 15-20 mins at the 4/5 this year? He good with that? $80 million for a starting 4 backup 5 role?

I don’t hate the trade. I just don’t know if it significantly improves us either. And I definitely wouldn’t want to try and balance the PT with all these egos.

15 to 20 minutes a game for a rookie is just fine. Also I think we probably see Collins in the 25 minute a game range for this year when we have a healthy roster. When injuries happen though you can expect him to be closer to 35 in those games so in the end he will probably average around 28 to 30 minutes a game. Now the real question is what Collins do we get. If it is last years Collins then it doesn't make us any better in my opinion. If it is the Collins from 3 years ago then it is a pretty massive upgrade and if it is kind of in between the 2 then I agree that it doesn't improve us signicantly which I'm still okay with because I think that puts us in the bottom 5 of the west and we keep our pick.

If they give him the keys to this team then I would expect him to have a big year. Something in the realm of 20pts, 6asts, 3rbs and 1.5stls a game.

Man, if Clarkson comes back how am I going to know if people are talking about Collins or Clarkson when they say JC?

Or even perhaps a much more famous biblical JC

Not gonna lie - that’s effing awesome. Live the dream. Glad you’re able to do that.

I doubt KO is as good for Hendricks' development as playing basketball is.

If Lauri is playing primarily as a 3 and Collins/Hendricks play a little 3, then it feels like there are still plenty of minutes to go around.

I'm not a huge KO fan, so I'm fine if goes, but I like the idea of Hendricks getting some playing time next to some more passing. It also feels like Hendricks could make up for some of KOs defensive and rebounding issues.
