Collins numbers have definitely dipped this year. That along with his usage in ATL (ie getting a lesser role in the offense) makes me think he's very gettable.
He had two seasons at 20/10, so it's not surprising he would turn down a big extension.
This year more like 17/7 at 29 mpg. Mavs might actually be able to get him with just a healthy contract that ATL won't be inclined to match. It is curious that the Hawks didn't trade him at the TDL but my guess is they feel like that could get similar value in a S&T. Salary matching will be harder in a S&T so honestly I am not sure what they are thinking.
