Every single thing I’ve read from Hawks fans is that he’s a genuinely nice guy and they hope he can return to form with good health, better coaching and a clear role on the team.

My initial feeling was similar to the Bogey/KO trade where I was okay with the player we got, but wished there was an asset coming back. Oh well. Hope the finger heals and he goes right back to 20/10 and lets Hendricks develop without the pressure. I’m feeling optimistic today.

Three major decisions left to make.

1.) JC opt in/out or trade.

2.) THT opt in/out.

3.) Maybe chase a free agent to use the rest of the cap space depending on what happens with #1 and #2.

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.

Sounds great!. My wife and I have been thinking about an early retirement (still 15 years away) in the mountains. Probably somewhere remote in the Peruvian Andes. A big farm with all kind of rescued animals.

Life in the city (Mexico City now but probably moving to US or Europe next year) is getting a little tiring.
 
I think Jazz have looked at Collins , similar to what had happened in Lauri’s career , underused , undervalued ect.

That whole offence in Atlanta is Trae chucks 99% of the time , everyone else find your crumbs , no one can flourish in that system .

It’s worth the bet , we gave up nothing for Collins , and gives time for Hendricks to grow .
 
I like Collins. I really liked him a few years ago and his contract is a bit MEH but the dude can ball.

We have more depth and Collins will look mighty enticing to a team when their PF goes down and they want to still make the playoffs.

And Collins isn't nearly as bad on defense as some people claim. He's capable on defense and I think he can improve.

We're stacked with bigs now and Collins can be a small ball center if needed.

Now it's time to add depth to the 1-3!
 
My initial expectation was to get more... I think nba cap geeks saw that contract as more toxic than it was I guess. I suppose if Poole's terrible deal gets like one super protected future first then the return on Collins is okay. We shall see what comes next.
 
Feels risky because this contract could bite us, but at the same time ATL just moved him for barely anything. Maybe they got lucky, but things would have to go horribly wrong for us to not be able to do the same if need be.
