Could it be both Collins and Fournier?  That would certainly be "aggressive".  I think Boston would likely do the Fournier deal below.  Once you have him, you can combine one of THJ/JRich and Maxi for Collins providing them real NBA players to compete with now.  Atlanta reportedly has the hots for Lonzo using a package involving Bogdonovic and Reddish.  If they do that, they could use someone like Richardson.

That seems complicated. I think the Mavs wanted Fournier bc the price was pretty low. In FA he would be pretty redundant with THJ. I don't know if double S&T's are a thing or if you are assuming J Rich would be opted-in as part of the trade. Either way I sort of doubt that happens.

My thought is that likely the Mavs path to a Collins deal would be a 3-way where Maxi gets sent to a team that values him (and he has value around the league imo) and they send a young asset or pick to the Hawks as part of a S&T with Dallas. Mavs could tack on a future pick as well if they want to be super aggressive. I am not sure Green or any of the other Mavs rooks have enough value for ATL.

ATL might rather have Lonzo than Collins so they attempt to sign him one way or another.
