John Collins...Our Third Star

With DeRozan, I read they would look for a S&T opportunity. For teams under the cap there isn't a lot of benefit to doing a S&T but there are lots of over-the-cap teams and teams with contracts they'd like to dump if possible.

For the Spurs they have lots of cap space and don't really need to save all of it for a big name player. Would they take back a bad contract for an asset (namely picks?).

Examples:
- Kevin Love is going to get bought out unless Cleveland can dump him somewhere. Spurs could take him back with picks.
- Rockets could send Wall + picks if they like DeRozan better.
- Wiggins + something else could be attractive for both teams
- Kemba for DeRozan is one of the more interesting ideas. Celtics have all their own first round picks I believe plus 2nd round picks. DeRozan might fit what they want to do more than Kemba. For the Spurs 2 years of Kemba isn't that big of a deal and he's still a good player plus they would likely be getting a first round pick and probably multiple seconds. DR's salary would be lower than Kemba's so Celtics would save some cap space.
