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.
That is perfectly understandable. Maxi is an elite role player. He’s a good soldier, tries hard and gets along with everyone. I hear he walks old ladies across the street and rescues stray dogs too. Losing him would be painful.
The question really is where do you rank Collins. He’s not AD, Giannis or probably Zion, but how many more PF’s do you put in front of him (especially when you take age into account...Durant). Siakam? Randle? Tobias? Isn’t he in about that same class, but younger? How many more?
