Any interest in trading for John Collins now?

[HansenYang]

If only Neil hadn't totally F'ed us with the horrible protections on the CHI pick - what an utter fool

Without those protections- we wouldn't have Sharpe

Is Collins going to still be out for trade? Personally, I’m hoping that means they’ll stick to a high tax bill and try to trade some of their young guys.

I’d love Jalen Johnson. He’d seem like the easiest young guy to get from them outside of Sharife Cooper.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

So the Hawks want to pair Murray with Trae?

They have said they want Trae to play more off the ball. So this would go with what they've been saying. Might help John Collins return to form as well with Murray being primary facilitator.

 

[tykendo]

I don't get what the Spurs are doing. Murray has finally come into his own.

Guess they don't view him as a star.

 

[Freshtown]

Guess they don't view him as a star.

Which is the correct eval.

 

[MickZagger]

Haha Murray averaged nearly a triple double on 20ppg and is one of the best defending guards in the league, leading the league in steals this year.

Got elected to his first All Star game at 25 years old. If he’s not a star I’m not sure what the definition of a star is..

love murray but i can totally see what San Antonio is doing if they give him up for three future firsts.

They're trying to tank for Wembanyama, like they did for Duncan.

Agreed, 3 1sts alone is a haul for Murray. That’d probably be in addition to Johnson and/or Cooper in the package as well.

 

[illmatic99]

I like the Hawks going for it too. This is the Jrue Holiday package. Clunky fit offensively because Trae does not like to play off ball, but Murray makes up for a lot of his defensive issues.

Makes me wonder if they'll just keep Collins moving forward. But that lineup is going to be expensive:

Young - 37
Collins - 24
Capela - 18
Bogdanovic - 18
Murray - 17
Huerter - 15

And a 15-20 mil extension coming for Hunter.

They should trade Collins for some salary relief.

 

[Propagandist]

Whoa. San Antonio is all business.

 

[Labinot41]

They realized that it doesn't make any sense to play for the 10th seed every year, and they are focussed on 23 loaded Draft

Then they should trade Capela and Bogdan for Gobert. Not because it makes basketball sense, but just because I want Bogdan and Bojan on the same team.

It's not him that's for sure.

Pshhhh okay if you say so…

 

[Mediocre Man]

Lot’s of chatter around Collins. Sounds like they are trying.

Yes

 

[Natebishop3]

Hmm I wonder what that deal would look like.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Hmm I wonder what that deal would look like.

I hope its the ebec and end of bench young hopefuls.
I do not think i want any of dame/nurk/ant/shArpe/hart/grant involved.

They'll combine it with the rumored Gallo-for-Murray deal, and we'll send EBEC to ATL and picks to SAS.

 

[Freshtown]

Would we be ok with 2 lottery protected firsts?

Give them Keon too.

i was thinking the same.

Gallo + Keon + future first from POR + future first from ATL to Spurs.

Collins to POR

Bledsoe + Murray to ATL

Nurk Winslow
Collins Watford Brown

Sign a center with the MLE and a vet min 3rd string PG (Dennis Smith Jr?)

Winslow at the 5? Crazy talk.

Not ideal, that's why I said MLE should be backup center.
