Andy Larsen explained it very well.

Collins has the worst on/off splits on the entire team and they are apparently frustrated with his slow learning curve on both ends of the floor.

He is also 26 years old so not sure how much "development" is left for him at this point.

I tried to tell all y’all’s idiots!! But noooooo you idiots thought he’d be some allstar and he’d be some kind of difference maker, but instead we got a 25million a year role player that thinks he’s a stud. Now y’all are trying to justify his trade as we need him for salary in trade for a star. The problem is the Hawks tried to do this for three years and ended up trading him for a cardboard box a homeless guy abandoned. So good luck with that. ATL raped us on that trade.

Eh, the biggest problems the Jazz have are:

1. You can't really design an offense that "features" Jordan Clarkson. He's not good enough for that and he thrives the most under Chaos. He should never be a starter on a winning team without someone with gravitas like Mike Conley to moderate his touches in game.

2. The Jazz defense is ***. Some of that could be Collins. It definitely is Clarkson and, since he has been starting, Keyonte.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

With the Andy Larsen article that came out yesterday, we can now pretty safely put both Clarkson and Collins on the list of top 2 reasons why we have struggled.

I've defended Collins but thats over now that I learned he hasnt played by Hardy's system on either end. Its not something you can see with an eyeball test unless you know the system, but thats what Larsen said quoting inside sources.

I’m over Clarkson and willing to include Collins for obvious reasons but is anybody really completely sold on George. Yeah he’s finally put a couple of decent performances together, but look at the stats (turnovers) and look at the W/L with him at the helm. I don’t believe he’s out of the woods yet, not by a long shot. We know what we have in Dunn. and Sexton and THT have definitely turned the corner - do not want to lose either of them now - and Christopher in the wings. Just sayin.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

You can still just put Clarkson in his optimal role and have him be really good.

Should probably just go ahead and do that. Anyone we trade him to he's going to be a 6th man, not a starter.

So you are happy we made that trade then right? We need to get bad players to lose more correct?

I think like 50%+ of the board was against the deal at the time.

We would’ve lost just fine with Gay at less money, and he’s traceable for salary matching more so than dingis

Well at least it’s encouraging that only 50% of us are less idiotic I guess

I really just wished we had waited them out as I think we could have got the Kings pick or they might have moved Hunter instead. Hunter is a pile of meh but you could convince me he had more to show to his game.

In the right roster I don’t think Collins is a terrible value… it’s just hard to find the right roster and we certainly aren’t it.

Ya but then we would have more money to spend and might use it on good players and win more. That would suck for you.

I bet we could’ve gotten some contracts that were shorter terms that are easier to trade or found someone else that we could trade and not be tied to one big deal we can’t trade.

But players come with contracts bro. What if those players are good players? Then we are ****ed!!!!
