We typically think of that as waiting and being patient as the best way to maximize value.  But, the team knows his knees and his attitude better than we do.  It is certainly possible his value is at its apex right now.  Plus, once these things become public, they have a way of getting away from you.  

My best guess would have been this summer.  If he starts playing again, I’ll stick by that.  But, it wouldn’t surprise me to see it happen sooner if he keeps missing games.  As it relates to Collins specifically, it is MUCH better from a control standpoint to get him now versus later and have his smaller cap hold and RFA rights.

The lightning speed of all this only makes sense if:

1) med staff is convinced his physical issues are chronic 

2) he is locker room cancer 

Once whatever comes public we no longer can trade at apex value. It’s all that really makes sense now that he’s missed all these games
