> In recent weeks, league sources say, Atlanta has blessed John Collins’ representatives to do their own searching for a deal construction that enables Collins to move on to a long-anticipated new address after constant trade speculation involving the sixth-year forward stretching across multiple transaction cycles.
> That widely expected deal obviously hasn’t materialized yet, while Atlanta’s front office is only just emerging from the throes of the sort of in-season overhaul you rarely see thanks to the sudden transfer of power from Travis Schlenk to Landry Fields and Nick Ressler (son of Hawks owner Tony Ressler). As has been reported for weeks now, varying degrees of interest in Collins have been registered by Washington, Utah, Brooklyn and Indiana.

Collins’ reps: send him to Golden State, Boston, Denver, or Brooklyn
Come to the raps pls
This feels like the Wizards
Nets wouldn’t be bad, but they’re probably going Durant/Simmons/Clax as the front court so maybe the minutes aren’t there
“we cant find anyone that wants your ass, maybe you can do a better job than we can”
Ah yo John.. you wanna help us do our job?
Wood + THJ for Collins and Bogdan?
That’s so ghetto 😂😂😂
Collins’s usage is 16.18% this season, the lowest of his career. That ranks 183rd among NBA starters just below offensive juggernauts such as Jermy Sochan. Get this guy out of Atlanta.
I have no idea what this guy is good at and what a team would want him for.

Would Hawks do Collins for Bogey?
Come to LA big guy
I hope the hawks watched bazley last night :DDDDD
not really a good shooter, 36% since he started shooting threes, but it’s 3 attempts a game, and if you look at the shots, it’s all wide open 6+ ft of space only
idk about the picks so ya’ll could come up with that, but just the players
Collins for Oubre and PJ
Collins for Bojan
Collins for Jalen Smith and Brissett
Collins for Delon and Kuzma (once again, idk about the picks)
Collins for Hart and Winslow
Imagine Hawks trade Collins for Bertans and JaVale. Imagine……
Raps and clippers fans in here talking about needing a 14th forward/wing
This thread makes me wonder if there’s like a different John Collins out there who’s really All NBA level and I’m just confusing him with the guy on the Hawks.
There was a time when Collins was averaging 20/10+ on great efficiency as a 2nd/3rd year player. People ITT are underestimating his abilities I think. His defense is poor and his offense still does have holes but he is a good player who has been completely destroyed by an incompetent organization and relegated to a system player.
Sean Marks is obsessed with this guy and has been for awhile. I think Brooklyn makes the trade for him
Hawks: fuck it, trade yourself and we’ll figure it out later
Mavs could offer a straight swap for THJ I think it’d be great for both sides
Trade him for huerter lol
if the hawks manage to somehow trade him for kuzma i’ll be so ecstatic
“Why don’t you just tell me the name of the movie you’ve selected.”
GM Landry Fields master of delegation
Don’t see why he can’t find success like Aaron Gordon has with the nuggets, slot him onto a passing team where he can be a third option PNR man, and he’s a matchup nightmare. Pacers would be a good fit?
Would love to have him in Charlotte
I would love to have him on the Kings but they would probably have to send Barnes in return and I don’t know if that’s worth. Unless our front office knows they can not re-sign Barnes.
Wizards getting him for Kuzma
For all of his shortcomings, Collins really most be consistently stressed out by these year-long trade rumors(though a year is putting it lightly.) The Hawks have technically done right by him, but he deserves a new team.
I feel like we’ve been hearing reports about this guy wanting out for like 3 years. At this point I wanna see it happen or stop hearing about it
Why is Quickley in this thumbnail? The Knicks have John Collins at home w/ Obi
Warriors are probably checking this out, Travis Schlenk used to be in the GSW organization
