NBA Trade Rumors: Predicting where the top 20 deadline candidates will land
4. John Collins, Atlanta Hawks
John Collins is not having a great season with the Atlanta Hawks and his shooting has recently fallen off, but I firmly believe that he still has a chance to revitalize his career in the right situation. And, quite frankly, the Hawks are no longer the right situation for Collins.
It’s time that the Hawks move on from Collins. They had a good thing going with him until it wasn’t. That’s OK. It’s become clear that Atlanta is moving in a different direction with the acquisition of Dejounte Murray during the offseason. And the Trae Young situation is something else they’ll have to figure out sooner or later.
For now, they’ll finally move on from the Collins situation that has been nothing but confusing since this past offseason. I believe that the Collins will be traded to the Utah Jazz for a package that will include a couple of rotational players and perhaps a future draft pick.
Prediction: Traded to the Utah Jazz
