Potential Trade Targets

I think Barnes and Huerter are easier to move so would likely prefer them to Collins. At this point I'd just want to make it a three team deal where we just get back expiring contracts (if we get a second or two great).

Don't think the Kings do that deal. Pacers may settle for Collins if they can't get Pascal or a bigger fish and don't want to put any real assets on the table. Though I think they passed on him for other reasons. I think he'd actually fit really well there and put up some numbers in that offense.

No idea why SAC would want Collins, especially for those two players who are both better than him. It's just a tough situation with Collins, very unlikely any team wants him. I think we just end up praying he rediscovers his defense and finishing inside the paint like he did with his shooting. I can't figure out why he's so much worse in the former two categories, but I suppose it's not impossible to regain form. I'm pessimistic that will come with the way we're deploying him, however.

Maybeeee you can fool a desperate team like DET (Bagley+Wiseman) in a salary dump type way like ATL fooled us, but I don't expect it to happen. Best chance of Collins being shipped out is a Lavine deal imo.
 
What's the high end outcome of what Kuminga is?

He doesnt get stocks. He's a decent defender, but not a stopper. Is he basically a more athletic Vanderbilt without the rebounding and you hope he learns to shoot?

He's not as long as Siakam, but that’s the type of player he can become imo. Powerful, explosive athlete with decent ball handling and some playmaking chops.
 
As an extremely young 19 year old, Kuminga was a 23% usage guy on 60% TS. That's freaking rare, and when consider the type of physical specimen he is, that's elite prospect territory. The questions are....why did his development stall? How much has his potential spoiled? Can he still improve from here?

He is not a perfect prospect by any means, but you aren't getting those guys through trade anyways. As far as second draft guys go, he's pretty damn intriguing imo.

Oh I don't think they would. In year's past they had interest though but maybe those rumors were Atlanta based.

With any Collins deal you are looking for a team to act irrationally... which happens sometimes. I think he stays here though as I doubt Ainge is ready to admit defeat and sell low.
 
Kuminga is just really unique... that is either really good or not good at all.
 
The rare thing about Kuminga....

He's a super athlete with length who doesnt even average a block per 100 possessions.
