Tremendous Upside

I just like to be cautious with these knee-jerk trade ideas. There's usually a very good reason a winning team wants to jettison a starter they just gave a huge bag to. Collins is ridiculously overpaid for what he brings to the table, and a known malcontent to boot. The Hawks were originally looking to trade him even before they gave him his current deal.
Small market teams are way too eager to jump every time some "name" guy becomes available. The thinking goes "This player would never sign here as a free agent, but now we can get him on a multiyear deal!!"
Just believe in what you're developing in-house if the results are promising (and they are). If anything, we need more playmaking and secure ballhandling, not a guy like Collins.
