I am basically against all money saving trades. Neither Collins nor Graham are not nearly worth compared to what #10 could develop into. This kind of guys should be obtained for vet min or exception money, not using #10 pick, imho. If I am trading #10, it is for an established starter. Otherwise rather keep it.
Don't forget the unprotected 2025 from Atlanta. I like Collins as a big in the rotation, but he has to be supplemented given his injury history. Graham does nothing for me, but his contract structure and that pick are a means to an end. If that Atlanta pick, Reggie and Graham landed you Draymond and Collins in your starting lineup, that isn't a money saving move in the least. It is reworking your frontcourt and the cost was basically #10 and Reggie.
One note, if this is done in June as one big trade, Dallas has to add another body (McGee) as Bertans/Reggie misses by $54k. Dallas salary is relatively low here, so this could be a S&T of Draymond in July also. Personally, I think better to knock it all out in June. If it is a S&T, you have about $70mm to work with for KI and DG before you hit the first apron.
