Hawks expected to sign John Collins to max deal 5 years $120M+

Thus dude does nothing if Trae isn't spoon feeding him.

Get ya money Young Man!

Why Atlanta?
Y'all got a star in Trae; play in a major market, y'all should be able to draw Biid to Atlanta in 2+ years in FA

For some odd reason that never worked out for the hawks….But Collins can shoot, works in the PNR, is decent on the boards and is young. I like him. Yes it may be a slight overpay.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Great deal for Collins, terrible for ATL

Not terrible but not good

 

[Mr swag]

A few teams where going to give it to him. Let him walk for free or pay up.

Smart move
Keep as much continuity as you can while in your window of contention

Sign him, sign Huerter next year, flip em for a star

They need a stellar forward BAD. Reddish might be that one day, but they don’t really have anyone that can go shot for shot with an elite 3/4. This core is nice and can still mature without the other two needed

It's a good deal

TV money will go up

Get your money
Sounds like Hawks are gonna be returning the core crew. People gotta remember they basically made their entire run with Hunter and Cam being out, and then factor in them, Okongwu, Huerter, Collins, and Trae all getting better just by nature of being young players
They need another star to help Trae, maybe that's a young guy like Reddish making a leap, but they definitely have a really impressive combination of talented youth and depth

The issue is that you're gonna have to pay all of those young players here in the next couple of years, so you won't be able to pay and keep everyone. Young is due his max rookie extension this offseason and Huerter is extension eligible as well. Not to mention Reddish and Hunter will be due extension after next season as well.

That cap space will disappear with the quickness even with the gambling money coming in.

He can't create his own shot and he doesn't really guard the 4 or the 5 that well

You mean the gambling money as that's what will cause the next cap space rather than the TV money.

Franchise killing shyt.

What do you mean?
