John Collins...Our Third Star

[ItsGoTime]

My feeling about this (and I could be wrong) is Mavs generally don't mess around when they want a guy. They maxed KP, Barnes, Parsons (even added some poison pill stuff this deal).

For Collins I think they are likely sending out salary in the deal for salary matching which means it won't affect the ability to keep THJ. Ya he will be overpaid, but Mavs will just be adding MLE for a couple of years so its really just managing luxury tax decisions.

Them chasing JC could be a big clue in to those questioning whether or not MC will go into tax again.
