Atlanta probably won't be able to pay Collins max, and the Clippers literally can't pay Reggie Jackson as much as he can get elsewhere. This plan also doesn't require lots of improbably trades.
Current cap space plus Maxi and Burke's contracts outgoing would get us to about $44 million in space. I think that's enough for both guys. Reggie Jackson would basically be THJ plus what we expected of JRich combined into one player. Collins is like Maxi plus Powell combined into a better player.
We don't need to trade KP to add both of these guys, although if we could do a KP for Adams trade that would give us space to also re-sign THJ.
I would love that offseason. And I would throw the rMLE at Bobby Portis.

You have your secondary ball handler in Jackson. Pick and roll partner in Collins. When KP needs to rest, you slide Collins at C and Portis could easily start at PF. A lot of trust in Green and Terry, but when you're the 18th and 31st picks of the 2020 draft respectively, you need to contribute in some way. Hopefully, Kidd can unlock their potential.
