2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Mavs2021]

I dont know about career numbers...

But one thing that has kept me a little cautious on "hating" on Collins since he doesnt jump off the screen the few times I have watched him...and Holmes has the few times I have watched him...

Holmes FG% is better than Collins even though it seems like I watch Collins FG% since everyone on here talks about him...Collins is always pretty good at like 7 for 11(not including 3%)

Kind of surprised that Holmes is even higher FG% wise.  And seems very mobile?

Im still questioning why we should pay Collins near max.  Luka factor?

Someone please break it down for me.  Please tell me that he is very capable in PNR and can also shoot the 3...but provide video evidence.   Why is Collins so coveted at near Max?

Well I´d throw the counter argument: Why was Porzingis, but Collins is not?

Best season of Collins: 21.6 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 1.6 BPG, 1.5 APG, 58/40/80
Best season of Porzingis: 22.7 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.4 BPG, 1.2 APG, 44/40/79

Seems if I straight swap them, I get a healthy player on the same level at a cheaper salary. You look at the on/off stats, Collins has been a huge net positive ever since his 2nd season.

I think the Hawks would be very interested in Kleber. He´s basically what they are missing, a stretch 4/5 to spare the inevitable Gallinari injuries and back-up Capela. Well they have a better version of it in Collins already, but it all depends how bad this Collins situation truly is/was. We have seen with Gobert, that some situations can be fixed.

It would probably be the easiest solution to our off-season.

Kleber/Richardson for Dunn + Collins S&T. Maybe you can even get Reddish. 36/26/82 seasonal shooting. Yikes. 
 
Offer THJ 60/2 with the 2nd year partially guarantee like $5M.

Then you can try to move THJ (or/and Porzingis) in a Lavine deal. Either way it´s a win-win for THJ with 35M guaranteed for a year. 

Next season:

Doncic/Brunson
THJ/Dunn
DFS/Green
Collins/Powell
Porzingis/WCS

At least we make Jeff Schwartz happy, cause either way he gets another of his clients paid like Kemba Walker.
