[Wojanrowski] 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.

Lol Rudy gay
IT HAPPENED. AFTER THREE YEARS. IT HAPPENED.
JC has been freed from the rumor mill
This is a trade you find on BBGM insane mode
They deadass got NOTHING 😭
What do we do now the John Collins rumours are done
Jesus that market value plummeted
Traded for free.99
Shocking how much of a salary dump that is. He will look great in Utah I bet too
Windy strikes again, surprised Utah couldn’t get a first for taking on that contract.
Damn his value was THAT low lol
Wow, his value was in the dirt.
No way he is THAT bad
You misspelled Woj’s name >:(
Unbelievable value for the Jazz
jalen johnson its your time
Years of buildup for this lmao
Oh my god, John Collins finally got traded ——- for nothing haha
Literally for a bag of chips and another bag of chips in the future.
Myles Turner and Dame are the only ones left standing
Holy Salary Dump
Noooo not the ol bag of chips!
no more GAY SEX
LMFAOO, my god this is such a pathetic return. I know his value has tanked but damn i didn’t think it was this bad 😭
He’s not that bad— but he will really help Utah. This is a steal
Rudy gay getting traded in 2023 is not what we expected
which is the worst sell low move? Your contenders:
ATL on Collins
GSW on Poole
WAS on Beal
My first thought was “Wow that’s all it took to get Collins?!”
Then I looked at his stats last year and more importantly his contract… and I can’t help but think “Damn maybe it should have been ATL to send a second rounder to Utah as the price to absorb Collins into their cap space”
utah getting collins for free basically is so good lol. if they can bring him back to form, it’s gonna be the steal of a lifetime – and if they can’t, they just use him to acquire bad salary+picks in the future when he is expiring.
Utahs starting 5 is going to be all wings lol
John Collins is off the trade block!?!?!?
Awwww. Myles Turner is so lonely now
I really have no idea the trade valuation of NBA players
Rudy Gay and a second is insane
Holy. I know Collins has been playing really bad but that feels like a great trade for us. Gave up practically nothing
I didn’t even realize Rudy Gay was still in the NBA.
And I was at a Kings-Jazz game this past season.
Gay Sex is broken up 😔
Utah native John Collins
RUDY GAY AND A 2ND ROUND PICK?!
I didn’t know Rudy Gay was still in the league.
But, I think everyone can agree that we are just super duper shocked that a team led by Young and Collins didn’t go undefeated and didn’t win multiple titles. Who could have seen this coming?!?
And here I am reading the headline too fast and seeing “Rudy” thinking they were reading Rudy gobert lol
