I think KP is a better player than McCollum just in terms of impact, but if we only get 50 games a year from KP I'd rather have McCollum.
McCollum isn't a slouch either. He is one of the best mid range shooters of the last 5 years, and he's averaged nearly 5 assists a game in that same span. Brunson is for sure the more attractive piece, but I think Collins is near Brunson's territory there anyways.
I’d be just fine with a package that brings back Collins. He has size and athleticism and usually has excellent shooting splits from the three, the two, and the line (I haven’t checked this year though). Somehow, he seems underutilized in Atlanta, though I think he could be an all star in Dallas. But that part of this trade idea seems like a complicated pipe dream. My plan would be more like pay Brunson his $20 million per year and look for a way to dump a meaningful portion of Zinger’s salary. I admit that’s not as fun though.
