You werent asking me...

But I say Holmes.  

Can you explain to me why Collins is worth more than Holmes?  Is it because he can stretch the floor?

Is that ability worth 12M more per year than Holmes?


Collins never jumps off screen when I watch him.  Holmes does few times Ive watched him.  That doesnt mean squat though.

If Holmes is elite at rim rolling and defending 1-5(seems quick enough and big enough to defend all positions if needed) and has no problem defending the p-n-r/switching....is Collins ability equal to that plus can shoot the three?  

Collins scares me at 25+M unless the team feels confident offensively he would be a game changer with rolling and 3 shooting.   The jury seems to be out on his defense too.

Holmes at 15M(I question if this is what he will go for) with elite mobility(switching on D and rolling on offense) seems like a better deal.

EDIT:  Actually...a floor stretcher is more important than a marginally better defender.  Collins has the green light

I like either except as you say Collins is more expensive, could cost an asset and thus seems like a riskier target. Holmes could get be had more easily and is less risky. We know the Mavs like both. Collins seems like Powell with more versatility, naming outside shooting which would definitely put pressure on the defense.

With Holmes you would have a more well-rounded player than Powell but potentially also have money for a legit starting caliber guard.
