Maybe a harder question since his value is all over the place. Would you do Bertans/McGee or Bertans/Reggie for John Collins and swap #10 down to #15? The theory being Atlanta gets the better pick and a year from now clears money. Dallas gets a useful player in a position of need for some dead weight, but still stays in the middle of the first round.
My preference would be to leverage the #10 to get a legit mobile center. But if that is not an option, I don't hate this move. We would still have 15 to potentially get the second starter we need. In my mind, to get the most value out of Collins, that second player would need to be a defensive power forward that can stretch the floor. We could do worse than bring Dorian back. If we end the off season with Collins/DFS/Luka/Green/Kyrie starting and Bertans/McGee off the books, I would be interested. Bench of Powell/Maxi/Bullock/Timmy/Hardy would be deep.
