Trade & FA 2024-25:

Yeah, I don't see the Collins fit for the reasons you mention. I understand some interest in him by Mavs fans though.

I do think, if a team can work out a deal with his salary, that he could be an option for a playoff caliber team.   For instance, Milwaukee.   Maybe the Lakers although they will probably look somewhere else.   It may be tough to find a place and with his salary it makes it more difficult.   You probably wouldn't need to give up many assets for him.  I will be interested to see what happens to him at the trade deadline.

I think him, Robert Williams, obviously Cam Johnson, maybe Kuzma, maybe Jeramy Grant, Zach Levine, Vucevic, Bruce Brown, Collin Sexton are all names to watch.  Besides Cam Johnson, all are flawed.  They are not great players but good players who could impact in the right role.

Looking at fit, contract and asset cost I don't think any of these guys make much sense for Mavs.  Cam is scoring 20 points a game on insanely high efficiency right now.  He is going to be crazy expensive.
