Woj: John Collins heading to Utah

[bison]

Per Woj:


ESPN Sources: The Hawks are finalizing a trade to send F/C John Collins to the Jazz for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick. Atlanta’s largely unloading Collins’ three years, $78M for some roster building flexibility and alignment with looming changes to salary cap.

Ouch Rudy Gay and a draft pick. That's how low Collins value is?? :lol

[FultzNationRISE]

Well he does have one of the more Mormon sounding names out there.

So the trade makes sense from that angle.

[MrFonzworth]

John Collins is from Utah.

Gay is also headed to ATL. It's a win-win.

Partly, but ATL is also ATL

Time to pull out the roller blades

Gay is also headed to ATL. It's a win-win.

that's definitely a win and Collins is worth a 2nd rounder. The surprising thing is it sounds like Gay was awful after Hernangomez took his job. Back with Quin!

They were better with Gay on the floor last despite his awful numbers. If he doesn't play he won't be happy but he's pretty much done at this point I'd say. Horrible contract they signed him to.

The trade is bad for the Jazz rooks and maybe Olynyk who has a partial guarantee. Danny loves him as much as he can but we know he'd trade his grandma. As long as Clarkson is gone and the guy they drafted sounds like a similar player but only 19. They want to turn him into a pg

How is that all he's worth?

Sexton/Dunn(partial guarantee)/Talen Horton Tucker(player option)
Agbaji/George/The Bum(player option but who will the lucky franchise be?)
Lauri/Olynyk(partial guarantee)/Simone/Sensabaugh/Hauser(2 way)Juzang(RFA)
Collins/Hendricks/Samanic/Udoka(FA who I can't imagine will be back in Utah)
Kessler/Jones/Carey Jr./Potter(RFA)

Salary dump

For Atlanta, the acquisition of Rudy Gay — who exercised his $6.4 million player option for next season as part of the trade, his agent Sam Permut of Roc Nation Sports told ESPN — allows the Hawks to drop far below the $182.5 million second apron (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37913341/hawks-deal-john-collins-jazz-open-huge-exception-sources-say) and below the $165 million luxury tax threshold for the 2023-24 season.

Danny off to a good start this off-season. Pretty sure he's just getting started

Ngl Kessler, lauri and Collins is a nice front court. I can see Collins averaging 20/10 in Utah’s system.
