So if the Mavs could convince Collins to sign with us, they could do something like trading KP and Powell to OKC, who then sends 1 first back to us and Bazley and 2 firsts to Atlanta, and Atlanta sends Collins.
With this trade, if JRich opted out then the Mavs would end up with something close to $45 million in cap space in addition to Collins. That's more than enough to re-sign THJ and also pursue other targets.
This makes me think, OKC will most likely be the biggest player in RFA, not the Mavs.
Cap space, nothing to lose if other team matches , tons of assets to work with teams for S&T.
Seems to me they will be better Signing/trading for Collins rather than going for KP.
