John Collins...Our Third Star

[omahen]

I just don´t see the defensive fit and I am at least somewhat sceptical when it comes to two high usage bigs in the same lineup. All in on Collins if KP is gone but assuming that KP stays I would prefer another wing/guard.

I look at it this way. Collins is arguably best young talent in this FA class. He raises our ceiling. If KP remains a problem, he will have to be traded in any case. If not, we have a good combo.

What are really the alternatives in this FA summer? Offer near max to Ball, one of the FA super vets (Lowry, Conley) or another questionable vet fit DeRozan? Which combination of middle of the pack guys makes one so certain it would bring more than marginally better result than keeping existing middle of the pack guys?
