Don't see Atlanta giving up Collins now, but more importantly that team will be a shit show defensively. No rim protection and the only decent perimeter defender is DFS.
There has been a lot of talk about these playoffs showing that offense is more important than defense, yet the only team left that is not a top 10 defense is Atlanta (who just got trucked by 40). The top three teams in defense were all legit contenders that got bounced early due to injuries. History has shown that it is nearly impossible to win a championship without a good defense. It just can't be ignored.
