So just revisiting this again. Hawks wanted a "high level" first round pick and/or young player and obviously didn't get that. Doesn't mean they won't get a first round pick or young player this summer. They said they intend to match all RFA offers which I believe. I don't think Mavs will make an RFA max offer and just try to call the Hawks' bluff. The Hawks aren't dumb they would match vs losing an asset for nothing.
Mavs do not have a first round pick but doesn't mean they couldn't get one. I think the Brogdan deal isn't a bad comp. Pacers gave up a first round pick and two seconds plus a 20 mil/yr contract in that S&T deal. Mavs have Brunson plus a few young players and I think Maxi could fetch a pick. At any rate I do expect Mavs to try to make a Collins deal happen. I bet this is their plan A. Casualties could include some combination of anyone outside of Luka, KP and I think DFS is a guy they want to hold onto.
