I am still all about John Collins from talent upgrade / asset management standpoint if you can get him without giving up Brunson. I don't think I would part with Brunson at this point, he is too valuable. I'd rather just bring back THJ as my 6th guy and try to improve the bench with a couple of pieces.
It would be great if we could start Brunson, but I'm afraid he would get exposed on defense too much. Also, as great as he has been offensively, he seems to struggle with really good defense (he looked over matched in that Clippers game). I want to see how they both look in a playoff series, but my guess is JRich will make more sense than Brunson in that kind of environment. Hopefully we will see.
