Yes, Gobert "at the price I like" interests me despite his contract (but not as a must-have type of pursuit )...and the price I have mentioned would be something like THJ-Powell, thinking that the list of suitors might be short and the desire to move him large. At that price, I take the salary risk and take the plunge - with Gobert's plus track record making me risk the salary.
I don't like that same idea re Collins, because both 1 his track record is not at that level at all, and 2 the acquisition price on Collins would be way higher, stripping talent that you would have a hard time replacing as an over-tax team. If you think the Mavs might can get Collins for THJ-Powell and want to explore something at that level, sure, sign me up.
