You're telling me you don't think "fascination" is an appropriate term when applied to a player we've discussed almost nonstop for 4 years? What if I told you that he was overtly on the trade block for pretty much that entire time, had changed hands for way less than what was speculated to be the cost for him here, and the Mavs never really seemed that interested?
I say again, I don't get it. Maybe that's because I'm dumb, but I'm just being honest.
There was certainly a lot of conversation last year that I remember for sure but this is the first conversation I've had about Collins on this board since he got traded and I was referring to just this conversation. Felt like the general consensus from everyone was that Collins on this roster may help a little but also that he isn't worth it because of the contract. It felt (feels) like you took that as everyone saying he should be a target which is how I interpreted "fascination".
Maybe that's because I'm dumb.

I think that's pretty obvious. I think if he were to get comfortable in the bigger role and Kleber were to get healthy and become even 80% of what he was in the WCF season, this thing would look a lot better, and frankly, it's looking better to me already than I expected.
You think Williams is here to fill Maxi's role and not DFS'?
