John Collins...Our Third Star

[DanSchwartzgan]

I don't have any doubt that Collins would improve the team, and would rather them pull that trigger than do nothing (it would certainly be an improvement over the last two off seasons) but I am just concerned that we would be firing our last big bullet for a guy that does not really address our specific problems.  If we end up getting Collins, I would greatly prefer that we figure out a way to pull the trigger for a KP for Turner trade.  That would get us our defensive anchor we desperately need, and allow Collins to replace KP offensive production with a much better fit with Luka.

No argument with the idealized Turner/JC lineup.  IF KP can’t play D alongside JC, then he certainly can’t do so next to Sabonis.  So, I’m not sure what a KP for Turner deal looks like in the real world...unfortunately.  A year from now when he’s entering his FA year?  Hmmm.
