They'll probably "overpay" for Collins when they give him a max. And ultimately who cares? The goal is to win basketball games by having more points than your opponent when the final buzzer sounds, not to have the most efficient production/salary ratio for 15 guys on the roster. Maybe Thybulle has a better production/cost ratio than Lou Williams, it doesn't mean anything when Lou Williams is scoring bucket buckets on him late in a critical game deep in the playoffs. Why is THJ worth $13 million when Buddy Hield is worth $20 million (other than people made up their minds 4 years ago that they don't like THJ)? We're not going to nickel and dime a way to a championship.In this sense, then I would go a different route than resign THJ at all. He isn’t such a difference maker that we need to spend $20M or more on, so move on and get that guy if we have to overpay.
