Already been said a lot but #15 to Atl is definitely a strong possibility. They want to shed salary cause they need to pay some players in 2 years. Mavs can offer the trade up to 10 + Bertans and Bullock which will only be the 5 mil guaranteed to Bertans in 2 years. edit* - Also I am pretty sure they want to move Hunter to 4 for an immediate replacement so they should be eager to move Collins.
I actually prefer Collins over Capela as long as they can find another C that is a decent fit from elsewhere. Really wanted Collins here when we still had KP because that was a good duo imo but maybe they can still make something work. I think Collins' finger is getting a bit better. He shot over 40% from 3 from at the end of the season from March 8 to April 7 which is the biggest scare. 33% in the playoffs (12/36) but that's against Boston and the Miami play in game. Still better than the bad season average.
Getting Turner + Collins would be a really solid 4/5 similar to Collins/KP, but I don't really see how the Pacers dump Turner to the Mavs. There's no replacement for him at pick 10. It would take like the Suns blowing it up and going for a rebuild by trading KD + CP3. Pacers do some crazy multiteam trade where Pacers get Ayton and Mavs get Turner for picks I guess.
Should be plenty of quality draft targets that have been mentioned there at 15. If they really love someone like Hendricks and project him to be a stud then sure take him, but I think he may become someone similar to current Jerami Grant in a few years. Better defensive version of Collins is possible but again will take some time and good development no doubt. It's likely better to get a player at pick 15 and convert Bertans + Bullock salary into a starting front court player immediately than only draft & develop pick 10. Collins contract is bad but if they believe he can shoot again and be better in a different system + not playing with a paint clogging C like Capela (can play with Maxi here vs bench units, maybe pick up someone like Hayes who has a chance to develop his shot as well) then I can see him being a good buy low candidate. Definitely need to come out of this with converting Bertans contract into a starter though.
THJ to a team that needs 3pt shooting really badly should be a strong possibility as well. I would say Cleveland but they don't have any picks to trade back for. Not sure if they would do THJ + 2027 1st for Jarrett Allen since they are trying to win now but I feel like THJ could be easily moved to a team desperate for a quick 3pt shooter for floor spacing. Not really interested in trading #10 just for Allen compared to a trade back personally. Someone at pick 10 or 15 could take over PF/C in a few years and make some contracts moveable for cap savings etc.
