By the transitive property, if Ayton is worth less than an expiring contract and there is thought that there might be an Ayton/Collins swap, then Collins is also worth less than an expiring contract.
Its funny because I saw the exact opposite report where Washington asked for Ayton but it was the Suns that refused to add him.
In any case, there is a LOT of posturing regarding Ayton. Stein saying he has no market. PHX reporters are hinting at keeping him and are wanting a starting center at least for any trade.
