Might be, but not necessary. It all depends how those two teams view their long term development. It is not easy to commit to a high or even max 4 year deal for a team that perhaps doesn't have contender potential. If Atlanta or NO don't want to match a max offer, they might be satisfied with an asset to let go. Like Milwaukee with Brogdon. Or Memphis with Wright, Minnesota with Jones and Washington with Sato. NO can't even make play-in tournament with Zion, Ingram, Ball and two good veterans. Are they really sure they want to pay max to that core? Same might go for Atlanta, depending on playoff performance.

It is Collins who chooses his destination, not Atlanta. They can either sign him or negotiate a SnT with where he wants to go.
