Yeah, the media people who I think actually have NBA connections are telling pretty much the same story ... Collins has been on the block forever, and now he might be less on the block than he has previously because Atlanta is starting to win games and their ownership badly wants in the playoffs and they don't want to upset what is working. The SnT market will be there in the offseason. And this isn't just about a 1 time thing with Trae, because Atlanta has been stockpiling 4s and 5s for several years in the draft, trades and free agency preparing to move on from Collins They've just never been sold that he's a foundational building block max contract type of player. And FWIW, I think he's been complaining behind the scenes about wanting more offensive focused on him and it wasn't just a 1 time Trae blowup.
