Im not sure you understood my point.
I was never questioning Collins actual reasoning of the issue. He is absolutely right, the strategy they currently run is perhaps not the best. The main problem is the actual manner he tried to solve this issue. This he did in completely wrong and selfish way, exposing the entire franchise. Instead of going to the coaches and making his point, arguing why he has a point etc. and why his proposed strategy would be better for the team compared to the current tactics the coach is running now (featuring heavy use of Trae). This would have been the correct way by a teammate to do this. A private discussion with the coach. Keep in mind Trae is not doing this by his own, it is the coach that asks Trae how to run the offense. This is head coachs matter. Not Trae Youngs.
Instead, Collins is making a huge mess, throwing the coach as well as Trae Young under the bus in front of everyone else. He assumed the role of a coach, which he is not. He made that point while everyone else was there in the room, completely disrespecting the coach. And Trae Young as well.
This is not the way to do this. Collins is not the coach. He can suggest new strategies to his coach privately, some good ideas, and hope he can make a point to the coach that he agrees with. This would be a private way dealing with this. If coach agreed, he could change the scheme and listen to Collins. Adapt the tactics. If done in this way, Trae would have respected this way as well. Public would never know. Fans would not be upset. The image of Hawks and Trae Young not hurt.
Trae's response to all that was just as big a failure, sure. He acted completely wrong as well.
So, both of them are not acting properly as teammates. Neither of theose two are championship players. They have some talent, but are lacking leadership, character and maturity.
