John Collins...Our Third Star

[mvossman]

My working theory is that you have to do max + Maxi and maybe more (2nd or two) to get it done bc I don't know that the Hawks are in love with the Mavs offer. Doing both the overpay + asset helps get to a deal.

One of the many reasons I would prefer Ball if he is interested.  He will have to be an overpay as well, but it will unlikely need to be the max and asset cost is probably not as much (might get away with an opted in JRich and a second or two).
