Spurs Need To Move Zach Collins



Spurs Need To Move Zach Collins

The Spurs have been reportedly looking for a Keldon Johnson trade, and Lauri Markkanen has been a name link to a potential trade. Spurs could really make a strong move around Victor Wembanyama, but even if they move off of Keldon Johnson, Spurs should look to trade Zach Collins.

  1. I think the contract of Zach Collins is not ideal. I would use him in a big trade to match salaries as the Spurs to upgrade, considering Victor Wembanyama is already a superstar already.

  2. He's a serviceable backup. There's no reason to dump him for someone who may or may not be better. There's no move that will dramatically improve on Collins, so why not give him one more season?

  3. Collins is perfectly fine as a backup center he's only 26 years old and is talented and plays up to his salary.

  4. if you can get draft assets (light protected 1st)for zach levine contract trade for him and send keldon.collins tre jones to bulls. that is only way can trade him out. THIS IS ONLY A SUGGESTION. GET A GOOD PICK A REALLY LIHTLY PROTECTED 1ST AND UNPROTECTED SWAP F0R ZACH LEVINE CONTRACT AND SEND KJ, ZC, TRE JONES. BELOW ARE CAP IMPLICATIO FOR THE SPURS FOR THIS TRADE

    CAP +/-

    YR 2024 2025 2026

    KJ 19 17.5

    ZC 16.7 18

    TJ 9.1

    TOT 44.8 35.5

    ZL43 46 49

    +/- 0 10.5 49

    NO CAP IMPLICATION THIS SEASON, NEXT SEASON 10.5M(WE CURRENTLY HAS AROUND 24M IN CAP IN 2025 AND IF WE CAN FLIP BARNES WE CAN ADD 18M IN CAP NEXT SEASON.NOT A PROBLEM FOR US TO ABSORB THAT) THE PROBLEM IS 2026 SEASON, THAT 49M WILL HIT US. TO COMPENSATE THAT WE ASK THE BULLS FOR A TOP 4 PROTECTED, AN UNPROTECTEDSWAP FOR OUR TROUBLE and the loss really good pLAYERyer in KJ WITH VERY GOOD CONTRACT.

    OFF COURSE IT IS A HUGEA HUGE RISK ON OUR SIDE ABSORBING LEVINE COTRACT. BUT IMHO GETTING THAT 1ST AND SWAP IS ALSO BIG. POSSIBILITY OF LEVINE STILL COULD CONTRIBUTE AS AN ALL STAR PLAYER WILL REALLY HELP US SKILL WISEANDFOR JUST GIVE PLAYERS WHO DO NOT FIT OUR FUTURE PLAN KJ ZC.

  5. All of you wanna be jams Need to understand some you gotta find a team that's willing to take him. It's like the guy who creates these videos clamoring for Lauri.

    What he forgets is Danny ain't just gonna want more than just A couple of draft picks and 1 player to give him up. You cannot just wave a wand and trade the guy.

    Spurs are aiming for the future not just the now. It's a shame that folks can't realize that.
