Jazz trade for John Collins

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If Collins simply returns to his normal level of shooting that's enough. I think the big thing with him is just using him in more ways than a PNR player or corner shooter. Will be interesting to see what he can do as a passer or a guy who handles the ball in DHOs.

The key to everything is Kelly Olynyk. You play Kelly and JC together and JC is going to feast in those lineups

he was a bucket in the big t ,but unless they really do try to put him on the elbow offensively, or see him in a similar role to Grant Williams if he can show good rebounding ability, I don't see him being more than another long term distraction. He needs to get in shape and he might be the most out of shape prospect taken in the top 50

Yes there are some challenges. But let's see.

you are such a forum badass

I am not a "forum badass" at all. Which is part of what makes all of this humorous to me: I don't even need to be a badass to put you in your place.

quoting my take on pick 27 in your sig lol, proves

No it doesn't. It's just a cute little seed that I've planted in our JF garden. We will check the results in a couple years, won't we Sugar Plum?

There's not usually much to recommend from SLCDunk these days, but gotta give props to this article (an optimistic look at Collins regaining his shooting form):

Contextualizing John Collins’ three point shooting

Much has been made of John Collins finger injury, inability to shoot from the 3, and poor season last year. We contextualize it all in an attempt to check our own biases.

Probably dumb question. What is it that makes the John Collins trade not be official until July 6th? Is that true of all trades right now? Or does it have something to do with one of the components? Like Gay opted in to facilitate the trade but the opt in can't be official until July 6th or something? I know that free agent signings can't be official until July 6 but wasn't sure how that plays into this.

Well, whatever the answer is...tomorrow is the 6th. So I guess the Jazz will get to introduce him.

It's because we are taking a large portion of Collins Contract into next seasons cap space. And the Cap For the new year doesn't start until July 6th.

Looks like the trade is now official.
