John Collins will be Dallas' #1 target when free agency opens this summer. I think Dallas will offer him the max or close to the max. Atlanta offered him 4 years 90 million earlier this year and Collins said no. They have Okongwu as a potential replacement, although he's had a terrible rookie year. Atlanta put themselves in a huge bind when they signed Bogdanovic, Gallinari, and Dunn to a combined 43 million annually. What a wasted investment. They did unload Rondo today, but their salary cap situation is a mess. And Trae Young's (2022) and Deandre Hunter's (2023) contracts are coming up very soon. I just don't see Atlanta giving Collins a near max contract. So either they don't match or we do a sign and trade.
