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.
Is it bad that a deal centered around Collins for Maxi to me is a non-starter? I find Maxi's role on this team close to irreplaceable. Hard to find a 6'10 switchable big with an elite stroke.
Collins has the stroke, but not the defense it seems. If Maxi is the price, then Collins isn't worth it imo. Maybe Collins and Deandre Hunter, but that's a bigger pipe dream than Collins on his own.
