Guessing about Collins price, Boston and Atlanta beat writers

[b]Weiss:[/b] OK, let’s see if we can push this over the finish line then. How would Schlenk feel turning that second into a vanishing first, giving it a top-25 protection that then converts into a pair of seconds if it doesn’t convey? So that would be Pritchard, Edwards, firsts in ’21 and ’23 and a vanishing first in ’25.

[b]Kirschner:[/b] I think that’s enough draft capital to get a deal done with Boston. Definitely would see if any team wanted to include a better young player in the deal before making this one, but with the possibility of three firsts, let’s make a deal.

For me that is a .50 cents on the dollar trade for Atlanta.   I would guess they could do better.   Pritchard has been a pleasant surprise for the Celtics, but would Atlanta trade Collins to get a 23 year old backup to Young.   Edwards wouldn't make sense to me either.   Still think he can find a niche though in the NBA.   Romeo Langford would be more appealing but he is hurt and is more of a throw in to supplement the real prize in a trade. 

The first round pick are wild cards and this years first for Boston will probably be in the teens, but I have trouble seeing ATL moving on a deal like that.
