Getting over that hurdle basically means ATL has decided he's gone, so if/when reality gets THERE, Kleber is actually a GOOD return for them, imo. In that scenario, they're not getting him as a return for Collins, they're getting him as a courtesy payment for helping Collins get to where he wants to be.I have to disagree (in the probability, not the idea as a whole). I agree that in this scenario Maxi+ is a good return value, but I have to think that they would have gotten much more had they traded him at this TDL.
I get the want to make the playoffs and make a really good showing this year. However, if they believed at the deadline that Maxi wasn't enough to help them do that, not sure why they would for next year's season. I guess it would depend on what else they can do in FA.
