NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[burekemde]

Collins, I see as an outstanding SF. He would be big upgrade over DFS, in every skill. Not to understate what DFS brings, but Collins is better, and IMO played out of position at Hawks. they are similar weight, yet Collins is slightly taller and moves better, dribbles better, can do more with the ball, and has far better mid range game. Collins is more athletic and can shoot the 3 as well. He can post up as well, and makes great blocks. Very athletic. If we go for Collins, I hope this is to play him as a wing. He would upgrade our team.

For KP, I would look to upgrade us with Sabonis. Neither can cover the space on defensive side, but Sabonis is 100x times more skilled, and would make this offense instantly the best in the league with the fit with Luka. KP can protect the rim better, and is better shooting the 3, but Sabonis can make open 3s as well, and is better rebounder on defense, and his playmaking skills are light years ahead of the one for KP. I love the rim protection of KP, but I would any day prefer Sabonis, and the potential fit with Luka, also considering the injury history. Sabonis and Luka, think the game of basketball in same manner. Luka and KP are not on same page.

Chriss, I see as an intriguing player. He has potential to develop something special with Luka as a roll player. He can bring many of the things Powell does, maybe even with more upside. It will be interesting to see his defense. Chriss could make us enable trading Powell.
