Jazz trade for John Collins

We gave up a 2nd round pick. Seriously? All you naysayers act like we’d given up the world to get him and we’ll be strapped forever. I just don’t get it. Wide no one watch that video about both the Jazz and Hawk finances from the ESPN dude? He praised where we were.

They'd rather watch Rudy Gay and bitch about him.

Exactly. Why does no one else see this? It was redundant. Which tells me that more stuff is probably coming because DA is not as inept as DL. For DL he would have resigned Gay at 3/36 and called it a huge win.

That’s the only explanation for me. That DA is setting himself up for a bigger trade. Who would that involve? Any idea? And JC can’t quickly be flipped now that he’s just been traded, right? So I’d guess KO should be on the chopping block. Otherwise, we have a logjam at the 4-5 position.

Have you seen this bum at all in the past 2 seasons? I am guessing highlights is all? He is not the same guy he was coming out of college

He is far from a bum. The hawks were not a good fit for him after bringing in Capela and the system didn't play to his strengths. Even with that being the case he still had big games last year where you can see how good he is capable of being. These are some of his better games from last year and show what he can still do. When he is playing well there is smoothness to his game that is really fun to watch.

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.

So wait, we’re paying $80 million for a 25 min per game player? And we think Collins is fine with this small role? Is KO fine with seeing a smaller role too? He started and averaged 29 mins last year.

I thought I trolled this forum. Either people on this forum are delusional/just want the Jazz to legitimately lose every game, or the organization can't do the couch warriors what they want.

This off-season has already been a homerun for the Jazz. We don't have to watch Gay 15-20 minutes a game, we got a 25 year old for him. We've added a lot of young, athletic talent, that can shoot, and it's not even July 1st. Ya'll need to stop trolling so hard

Exactly... With all the assets this team still has we have a very strong nucleus being built. And yes, FA hasn't even started. Is Collins a world beater? No. But he's a solid piece to gamble on. He's much better than Gay that's for sure.

KO will be just fine with his smaller role and after this year likely has no future here. Most of his career he has been in that 20 minute a game range and will likely be in the 15-20 minute a game range this year. With Collins if he plays really well then he will get more minutes and Kelly will get less. If he doesn't then he will probably be around 25 minutes a game. It simply is what it is. As long he is allowed to play to his strengths which hasn't been the case with Atlanta the last few years then he should be pretty happy.

Here's the great thing about this trade. You don't have to worry about that.

Cool. Shut down the website then. We don’t have to worry about any of this stuff since none of us work for the Jazz.

Sources: Hawks trading Collins to Jazz for Gay

Even Woj says it gives the Jazz the ability to compete in the west…. Wait, we all know more than the experts…
