NBA Trade Rumors: 10 players most likely to be moved by the deadline

8. John Collins, Atlanta Hawks
Is this the year the Atlanta Hawks finally decide to pull the trigger on a John Collins deal? It feels like Collins has been rumored to be in trade talks his entire career, but as of yet no deal has emerged.
Having said that, Sam Amick of The Athletic reported that “half the league” is calling the Hawks about Bogdan Bogdanovic, but it’s John Collins who is “most likely” to be traded, with the Hawks having recently reduced their asking price for 25 year old forward.
Collins is averaging the lowest points per game (13.3) since his rookie season and is shooting a career-low 25.3 percent from deep, so it makes sense as to why teams aren’t willing to meet the Hawks’ original asking price.
