I just looked up and Anderson has 2 years on his contract. Yuck.

Collins will again be playing some meaningful basketball. Good for him. Plus more minutes for the young guys, I'm all in.
Anderson and Love combined make less than $14M. That is just a little bit more than half what Collins makes. So the Jazz have saved almost half of what Collins makes in money + whatever they could get back in potential buyouts.
Additionally, the Jazz should open up a TPE close to $20M. This could be useful if the Jazz wanted to make a run at a RFA like Kuminga in S&T.
The last year is not guaranteed.
OK This is sounding better
So this might mean more trades coming?
Could be….not expecting it though. A TPE lasts a year so it could be used at a later time for a RFA S&T or salary dump.
Realistically, this is just a huge money savings for UTA. The other option would have been waiving/buying out Collins which would have cost more. They also could have kept him, but I don’t think the Jazz wanted him back.
lol so the net return on the Collins acquisition is a 2nd round pick?
I was hoping to get at least two, but it's w/e. The team is now fully ready to do an organic tank without needing to worry about sitting players
