A package for Collins alone would be something like Dorian + Maxi + pick. I am guessing most folks (except for Kamm) would not be excited about that trade, but it is likely what it would take.
My understanding is that Atlanta is not trying to dump salary and players, I think they are trying to get better and my understanding is that they want to get bigger around Tre. I don't see the Mavs being very helpful to that goal.
It is possible that something like Timmy + Powell could get you Tobias. I would be open to pulling that trigger.
what you didn't seem to consider is that Atlanta saves almost $20mil in cap in that deal. that is not nothing. Green gets waived because he won't even be available for that last year of his deal and if they want they can waive Maxi for cheap as well.
I heard different on the rumored Maxi deal. they did not scoff at the deal and Dallas wasn't sure if they wanted to do that deal either. Also i have heard that they do have reservations about the high cost for that team and need to consolidate assets a bit since they had players who were not thrilled about their role.
Atlanta is the toughest part but i don't think they laugh the offer off. they considered Tobias when Philly was trying to incorporate them in Simmons deals so its not out of the box to think they might come back to that to save $20mil and pick up Maxi to take Tobias on for two years.
