The guy was saying supposedly CC has been killing it on defense and he is everything the Hawks thought he would be.I hadn't heard that.
I guess if I was to believe this guy and it was true...my thinking is I dont think they would give two good front court players away in a trade for KP. Even if they dont want to max Collins and he is tradeable...wouldnt given up Collins and another front court guy(CC)hurt their depth? And CC is supposedly playing good for them.
He is still an end of game liability because of shooting 54% at the FT line. If they want to do more than just make the playoffs, they would need more than that from him.
We have Maxi that can step in at the end of games in his stead and while that would be a step down on defense for the team, it would hopefully not be a huge step down overall (if at all). I guess the same can be said of putting Gallinari and Collins in, but if they're losing Collins in the offseason, they then have to replace him with something and if they don't, the team can't be as good.
