Do you think a max offer to John Collins a good idea for the Mavericks?

I think with Pierce out, the odds of ATL letting Collins get away are much worse. Likewise, I think he's much less likely to want to leave. It seems the tensions weren't with Young, with whom he's tight, but with Pierce, who he lobbied the front office hard to remove. They did so, tipping us to the idea that they view Collins as a more important piece than their head coach, and while I doubt they want to pay him the max, it's probably a safe bet that they're more willing than they were before the coaching change. Plus, they're winning now. I think he's a Hawk next year.
