John Collins...Our Third Star

[embellisher]

The issue with Lauri is the Mavs need 2 rim rollers.

Lauri, Maxi, KP: stretch guys

Powell would be the only rim roller

And that's my concern as well. Lauri isn't any better of a rim roller than KP. Maybe not even as good. Not much better of a screen setter either. 

Even if we keep KP, we need either a defensive stud that can hit threes next to him, or a complete offensive player.

Collins defensive deficiencies aren't quite as big as Markkannen's, and he's an offensively complete big. He can hit the three, and can also play PNR or PNP with Luka. 

If Markkannen is worth $16M, then Collins is probably worth $22M. And to get a RFA you have to overpay, so the number is probably his max.
