There is NO scenario in which I send a pick (any pick at all of any kind) to ATL in a trade asking me to choke down Collins for them.
IF the offer by ATL was something like Bertans-McGee-Bullock [and TPE of about 7.5M] for Collins-Johnson-Okongwu-15, I would consider it and look again at his recent play to see exactly how so-so he is. Still not sure I would do it - it's a lot of money to swallow if he lacks potential to be super helpful.
That's the exact deal I've been mulling. People just don't understand how toxic Collins' contract is under this CBA.
Now if the Mavs can walk tonight with Okongwu, Whitmore/Hendricks/Lively + potentially Wallace/Bufkin/Hawkins + plus whatever Collins might bring in a change-of-scenery move? I'm down.
