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

[omahen]

I'd take John Collins for Bertans+McGee+46.
No first round pick swaps.

But..

If the Hawks are adding the 15th for free, then this is a total no brainer.
Think about the fit later, change the coach, whatever..

I agree. I don't think Collins is a good fit next to Luka/Irving, but even I would do the deal in a heartbeat if it would cost us Bertans/Bullock and net us #15 along the way. Score on at least one of those decently high picks and you have something. Trade one of those picks for an immediate improvement and draft the other one. 

That being said, I have a hard time believing Collins value is so low or even if it is, that Atlanta would consider such a salary dump. Hope I am wrong.
