Just spitballing:
Mavs get Collins
Indy gets Kleber/Bogi
Atlanta gets Sabonis/McDermott
I honestly think that could be great for all teams. Atlanta gets a young stud PF already under contract for a cheaper number than Collins will get, and they won't lose a step. Mavs get their 3rd star who they'll have no problem paying. And Indy gets a less expensive PF who will play really well next to Turner and a talented sharpshooting wing who fits the mold of players that tdo well there. Perhaps sprinkle in a few rookies and picks from Dallas to Indy, and that seems like a solid basis for a deal.
I think Indy says no. No way they trade a All star big for Maxi and Bogi.
