I'd have no issue with a buy low on Collins if they believed in the post-ASB shooting and the medical team gave them the ok on the finger. Also would need to have a surefire plan on getting a complimentary big to start with him so there's a lot of ifs. He's still mostly the same player everywhere else. Still the same from 2, still blocks over 1 shot/g from a PF which is actually pretty rare, slight decline in boards. People just say random stuff based on reputation and all that but he's not a bad defender. If he returns to form he's worth around Aaron Gordon money, so he's only slightly overpaid if he recovers. Wouldn't want to trade back from 10 to 15 for him but if they can work out some multi team deal or do a trade back to like 12/13 and pick up other assets then do stuff with ATL it may work out. I definitely don't quite understand someone that says they're fine S&Ting an asset for Grant Williams at 16m+/y and complain about Collins being an albatross though.
