Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[DanSchwartzgan]

How about:

Hawks get:
Bertans
Bullock
10

Mavs get:
Collins
Jalen Johnson
15
46

Maybe Johnson develops a shot. But we need cheap depth if we add Collins. It’s a negative contract or neutral at best. The Hawks are in a bad spot, so we need to take advantage of that and get the best value

If we assume the Utah deal is possible (Bertans/10 for Olynyk/16/28), it would seem that Atlanta would be the team interested in Olynyk/Reggie (both expiring and Olynyk is more useful and cheaper than Bertans) in a deal for Collins.

Values for Collins on this board and on the Hawks Reddit are all over the place.  So, depending on whether one likes or dislikes Collins, you can send either 16 or 28 and keep Collins and the other one.

A week away and we are getting a rumor a day.  I imagine those that want a player drafted at 10 are not going to be happy with any of Collins, Bojan or Olynyk and Utah’s later firsts.  We should probably collectively lower our expectations so the vitriol will be more tolerable next Thursday.  And who knows, if expectations are lowered, maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised.
