If you're paying max (or giving value to get such a player), you need to be getting MAX-worthy production.
Collins has averaged close to 20ppg on incredible efficiency the last 4 years. Is that not worth max money? He also has all the tools to be a switchable big on defense with the right motivation.
Could he not grow and become a good defensive player under Kidd? The same coach that turned Powell into a plus defender?
IF Collins became that is that not max-worthy production? He's also only 24 years old.
