John Collins...Our Third Star

[DanSchwartzgan]

I DEFINITELY think the above is true. Sorry if what I articulated indicated something else. 

I'm just saying that Collins doesn't solve the KP problem. I think there is one, and you don't seem to feel that way. That's probably really the only source of disagreement.  

Hey, I've argued affirmatively for about a dozen other possibilities.  So, I'm not married to any.  This just happens to be what I'm interested in today.  Just trying to put out some content and push back when people fall back to their tried and (maybe) true positions.  

I truly have no idea if KP/Collins would work or not.  I see LeBron, AD and Schroeder working.  I see Brooklyn working (the three times a season they have all three of their stars healthy).  I think where I come down on this is Collins is very talented and in an off season where most of the other options are old or average, he's worth exploring.  If it doesn't work, we worry about what to do about it then...from a position of strength having him and KP.

The other day I happened upon an Athletic Podcast (77th Heaven, I think) where Tim Cato interviewed Jake Fisher (yes, that Jake Fisher) just prior to the TDL.  I came away much less convinced that his reporting means Dallas was doing anything more than gauging the market for KP...the same as they would do for anyone not names Luka (or Dirk).  I'm going to lean away from summer scenarios that ship KP elsewhere until I see something different.
