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.

I really like Collins.

I don't think he is worth anywhere close to blowing up the team. If we theoretically had to give them Brunson, trade away Maxi+DFS all to get Collins? Throw in multiple picks? 

Seems like we're losing more good players than gaining here. Especially since there are questions about how Collins/KP can fit together. And thats before we even broach the question of would Collins get pissy at Luka because he is a ball dominator.

I like Collins. I'd throw him a max just to see what happens. But if ATL matches I wouldn't really care. I think the Mavs are going all in to retain their guys and try to add 1-2 high quality role players. The more I see of the team playing at full force it makes sense to make smaller moves than a big splash.

Perhaps try and grab 1-2 out of these guys: Dragic, Porter Jr. Danny Green (we all know Donnie is going after him), Redick (unlikely but you never know he might stick around), Winslow, Patty Mills, Tony Snell. 

I can see the Mavs trying to trade Powell+Burke to free up money to go after someone at the 12-15mm range though.
