Not to mention, I'm not sure the Mavs would want to do that. You could probably send out less in a S&T to Atlanta for Collins trade. A max Collins is cheaper than Simmons and if you throw in JRich its a salary match, allowing you to re-sign THJ and get a point guard with the MLE.
I'm doubtful ATL will let Collins go at all at this point. It's proven that their lineup can get them to the ECF and it wouldn't make sense to trade Collins just because he'll command max money.
You're right the CJ for Simmons deal makes sense for PHI. Not sure why it makes much sense for POR.
