I don't see the fit with Markkanen. Obv the Bulls had him and were like let's go get a better version of this player in Vuc and bring Lauri off the bench. That's not a vote of confidence. The fit with the Mavs doesn't seem to be there. I imagine he can get a starting job with a rebuilding team. Here he would sort of overlap too much offensively with KP. The thing ab Collins is that he would bring some things that compliment KP at least on paper (altho some have criticized the fit there too).

In my view a young team that doesn't have a PF really but has a good defensive center would be more interested in signing 23-yr-old Lauri to a multi-year deal.

I can certainly see and understand that side of it as well.

MBT would say that Luka/KP/Collins is the offensive trio they want that's unguardable.

I really like Collins also. Definitely won’t be sad if we end up with him instead.
