I too would love to trade our trash for a 23 year old hyper athletic forward that has averaged 20/10 on 56% from the floor and 37% from 3 the last 3 years.
It's just not realistic. You gotta bring something to the table and Kleber is a valuable asset. Collins has an argument to be THE 3rd star we're looking for, much like Lavine or Hield or whoever we're talking ourselves into. He's not perfect. His maturity makes me a little worried. He seems to be concerned about his image a bit too much. His defense leaves a lot to be desired. Though I do ask myself, is Collins shitty defense a product of his environment, or is he the creator of that environment. Perhaps he can change his ways here?
But on the court fit? For the same reasons we salivated over a potential Zion pairing, Collins would be exactly that. He's the above the rim, young, stretch 4 that can be the engine of the offense on any given night.
Just my 2 cents. No way ATL gifts him to us for just Kleber anyways. Maybe we can pry him away over the summer with a max offer.

We need to make a great defensive team, teamplayers, surround Luka with two way players and plus defenders. KP, Kleber, JRich, DFS, thats the kind of players we need.Also I totally agree with you. Kleber is a championship caliber player, and I believe the reason why he's so good is that the fits his role to a T. It's why I'm reluctant to give him up in ANY trade.
