Man John Collins ain't got many options left. Hawks are gonna try to squeeze him to take less then the max if he can't get an offer
Looking at House it is tough to tell if he is part of the rebuilding or someone eating up valuable learning minutes. He was quite good two years ago until the playoffs fiasco. He has never been the same since he burst his bubble. He is definitely on the show me what you got list this season if he remains with the team.
Hey dumbass, take the deal. Sam Amick: It appears we have a John Collins waiting game unfolding in Atlanta. As has been reported elsewhere, the Hawks have a very healthy offer out to their restricted free agent that has yet to be accepted. Per sources with knowledge of the situation, it’s for five years and $125 million. So, why hasn’t Collins agreed to re-sign yet? Because as was the case last offseason, when he turned down a $90 million extension and wasn’t shy about the fact that he saw himself as a maximum salary player, he clearly sees his value differently than the Hawks. Again. Color me confused. This deal, if accepted, would not only be substantially more than what he was offered previously but would be the biggest yet on the 2021 free-agency market from a lump sum standpoint (Chris Paul’s $120 million deal with Phoenix would be second). In terms of average annual salary, the $25 million figure would be the third-highest (behind Paul’s $30 million and Kyle Lowry’s $30 million with Miami; Utah’s Mike Conley would be right behind Collins at $24.1 million). That’s some big-time cheddar for a player who averaged 17.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in the regular season, 13.8 points and 9.5 rebounds in the playoffs and -- to his credit -- was a pivotal piece of the team that shocked us all by getting to the East finals. It’s nowhere near the max deal that Trae Young finalized on Monday night, or that Collins himself could receive, but it’s still very substantial. What’s more, it remains to be seen where he might be able to get an offer sheet that’s any bigger. According to our in-house capologist, Danny Leroux, only Oklahoma City and San Antonio still have more than $20 million available in cap space. There also are no indications that either team is planning to add Collins. The Hawks, sources say, want to keep Collins and aren’t interested in sign-and-trade options at this time. So ... we wait.
Free agent star DeMar DeRozan is close to reaching an agreement with the Chicago Bulls, league sources tell @YahooSports. Hey Clips Wall is available.
The Bulls are finalizing a sign-and-trade deal to acquire the Spurs' DeMar DeRozan, source tells ESPN. Via Woj
Some of these teams truly either have limitless resources or one day will not be able to afford per diem for the coaches.
KOC said the Pelicans offered THJr a 4/88 deal that he turned down the Pelicans GM is trying to just throw money away
Spurs have the money, remains to be seen if they are willing to spend it...and they just gave 14M per season to freaking McDermott, they should've no problems giving 25/30M per season to Collins, hell he's from Wake Forest too (like Tim Duncan) lol.
