On Day 1 of free agency...I'm at John Collin's door and presenting him with a contract in the 4 year 110 million range (near the max). He already turned down Atlanta's offer of 4 years 90 million. Atlanta put themselves in a bind by offering ridiculous contracts to Gallinari, Bogdanovic, and Dunn (43 million combined salary). At least they shed Rondo's 7 million contract but they're in a tough spot.
I think a core of Luka, KP and Collins is a formidable trio. Not sure how we can retain THJ and J-Rich in that scenario unless we trade for Collins and/or trade Powell and Burke (who make close to 15 million). Not sure what's going on with Terry but I would assume he can fill the Burke role. And I'm thinking Melli could fill in for Powell.
