What nobody mentions is that: "We won´t be able to bring everybody back, we would like to..."
...could also simply mean that they know that Collins will get max offers, that they have to match. Therefore they'll have to trade Gallinari eventually, which they would not like to do under different circumstances.
When you look at Collins elite shooting numbers, his age, his potential for improvement, it would seem stupid to pick an injury-prone 33 year old Gallinari over him.
Maybe we focus on the gettable Markkanen instead and allow somebody else make the max offer for Collins. We anticipate the Hawks will match the Collins max and and then swoop in with a Gallinari/Reddish offer instead. That way we can add Markkanen/Reddish as long-term pieces for virtually nothing.
It´s 3D chess out there.
