Yeah, I'm skeptical ATL is going to want KP.  Might need to get a third team involved to take on KP.  I also sharing your concern that we would be sending out the two guys who make most sense next to Collins.  No point in starting Powell next to Collins as neither protects the rim.  Could we really run out that lineup with Collins as center and not get destroyed at the rim?  Could Kidd make Collins a legit center?

Yeah, it isn’t ideal.  As Tyler points out, there are things that can be done in other trades now or later.

I think the main thing here is you are getting a better top three from a fit, age, contract and health standpoint.  In a perfect world where no one ever gets injured.  KP is arguably the better player.  But, in the real world, Collins is younger, cheaper and has a more diverse and efficient offensive skill set.  It is probably easier to find that shot blocking center to put next to Collins.
