So, after some reading, it seems that SA is the last possible port of call for Collins on the max that ATL is trying not to give him. I believe that the hold up with him has to do with that team, and not the Mavericks. As long as they have max space to offer, he’s got leverage on the Hawks.
This also seems to be what’s holding up Lori Markkanen’s situation, as he is thought to be SA’s backup plan. Even DeRozan seems caught in this web, maybe.
Maybe Markkanen’s decision is somehow what is holding up the Dallas/Dragic deal. As in, maybe they like him better as a target? Not sure.
There are so many theories and permutations out there that it’s impossible to get a clear picture, but I feel like the Mavs aren’t done. I think they still have irons in the fire.
But, unfortunately, I don’t think any of those irons involves John Collins coming here.
