Will stay, won’t stay? This is the question that surrounds the name of John Collins (12.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 against average this season) in Georgia.
Yet extended last year for $125 million over five years, the interior of Hawks no longer seems to be part of his franchise’s long-term plans and he could therefore be asked to look elsewhere in the coming weeks.
To the extent that The Athletic reports today that John Collins would appear in the small papers of four teams, namely the Nets, the Mavericks, the Wizards and the Jazz. Four teams in search of playoffs and reinforcement, especially under the panels for some.
What is certain is that the leaders ofAtlanta would not want to recover Joe Harris’ big contract (8.6 points on average this season), in the event of a transfer to Brooklyn. With an attractive contract, Kyle Kuzma (21.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists on average this season) could interest him in the event of a transfer with Washington…
Finally, the Suns, which were announced on the John Collins file last month, would ultimately no longer be as inclined to hire his services, because of his big contract. To be continued.
