NBA Trade Rumors: 5 teams that should make a risky move for John Collins

NBA Trade Rumors: Five teams that should attempt to make the risky move of trading for John Collins. 

The Atlanta Hawks made a big splash during the offseason when they acquired Dejounte Murray from the San Antonio Spurs. It appears that the Hawks, as the NBA Trade Deadline slowly approaches, could be looking to make another big splash. This time via an in-season trade.

According to a recent report, the Hawks are opening trade discussions for John Collins – a move that the Hawks nearly made just a few months ago.

Will the Atlanta Hawks trade John Collins this time around?

The thought was that the Hawks were going to trade Collins during the offseason but that didn’t happen. For one reason or another, Atlanta is back at this place where they’d, at the very least, be open to the possibility of trading Collins.

And this is all difficult to decipher. It all comes down to this – are the Hawks serious about trading Collins or is this more about just testing the trade waters? You’d have to imagine that Atlanta almost has to trade Collins. You can’t have him go through all these trade rumors again to simply return to the team. It can’t happen again. That’s malpractice, especially for a young player.

If Atlanta is at a point where they’re ready to trade Collins truly, here are five teams that should take the gamble on the big man.
