What I don't understand is why you think we can agree with others to sign a deal at 5:01 (obviously prepared in advance), while not do the same with Atlanta for Collins SnT. Indiana did it with Brogdon, for example. Negotiations have to be done before 5:01. If not, then I just hope Mavs run away from it, because it is nothing more than a pipedream.
You make a valid point. I'm focused on two classes of player. Totally free and guys who might not have a role with their current team. We can probably money-whip guys like Powell, DeRozan, Lowry, Dinwiddie and Theis. I have also mentioned RFA's Markkanen and Monk. I see their current teams as much more accommodating than I see the situation with Atlanta and Collins (not to mention the part that I think Collins might be better served by playing elsewhere).
Of course, part of what I'm doing is trying to double reverse jinx this Collins thing. We know from history that if I post a dozen ways it could happen, it won't. So, I'm trying something different this season. Collins is a bum. He hates dogs and children. No way he comes here.
