The issue to me is the KP/Sabonis fit. But, Kings gonna Kings, so you never know.
Screams: Promised Dragic a trade or buyout and Gallinari´s value is slightly above zero from Toronto´s perspective. Atlanta gets off the Gallo money, because they need to pay some of their guys. If it goes through it´s the expected outcome of choosing Collins over Gallinari.
If the Mavs wanted Collins, they should have gone hard in the summer, threatening the Hawls with the max offer and find out if they were truly willing to match it. The (Hawks matching) loss would have been sending out Kleber for a pick, while ultimately replacing him with Markkanen. The incompetence of the old MBT is truly astonishing.
Would you rather have
serious shot at John Collins
fall back option Markkanen + a pick
THJ on 80M + Kleber
