You gotta wonder if taking off one or more of those contracts can help create value for a Collins deal.
Personally i’d love to somehow land a Collins + Bogdan and/or Reddish deal. Then stop with the soft cap flexibility crap and just build a ridiculously expensive team again behind Luka, KP, Collins and Bogdan like in the good old days.
I don’t want us to have a single penny of caproom in the Luka-era anymore. It’s utterly useless anyway. Just spend the money and go to work.
Collins is probably a pipe dream. He’s a threat at multiple levels offensively and Atlanta actually plays well when he’s at C and PF. But, if you take it as fact that he’s coming in a deal based on Maxi, the interesting question becomes “and what else”. They seem to really like Hunter and Huerter. To me, Huerter kind of makes Bogdon expendable. A team with Young at PG certainly needs some perimeter D help.
The logical deal to me is based around Maxi and JRich for Collins and Bogdanovic. Someone smarter than me can figure out adds in terms of picks/rookies if any.
Totally agree on Cuban’s money. I could care less if Collins makes $22mm or $25mm or $28mm.
