[WOJ] Hawks trade John Collins to Jazz for Rudy Gay and future 2nd Rd Pick

We could use Capela or Big O

 

Just gave him away. Hawks ownership is not playing around about threading water and paying a lot of money for players.

 

IIRC, there was a yuge thread in the GARM wanting this guy. The biggest obstacle was all we would have to give up for him. No thank you.
Then Atlanta ends up trading him for some candy corn.
We couldn't do that?

 

Gobert is a big negative overpaid scrub

 

@SamFisher faints

 

I didn't realize Rudy Gay was still in the league.

3 playoff appearances (2 with the late era Spurs), never out of the first and has made 171 million. A legend of empty calories.

 

I'm no Collins expert but hasn't his outside shooting fallen off a cliff since a hand injury a couple years ago? I remember hearing that at some point.

I wish him well but I'm not personally interested in getting an offense-only PF whose game is basically 10 feet from the basket and in.

 

It was either him or Bogdan. They chose to offload the more expensive contract, but maybe Bogdan is on the block still.

 

I don't mean to contradict you, but the CBA clearly forbids trading candy corn unless the deal is made in October in honor of Halloween.

The Jazz are sending some gummy bears and a box of Red Hots.

 

Today I learned Rudy Gay is still in the NBA

 

That's who I was thinking of too.

 

Wasn't Colluns a potential 20/10 guy a few years ago?

 

Remember when Minny wasted a ton of assets and robbed themselves by trading for sorry ass Gobert. LOL

 

Why didn't we do this?

 

Because we already have a 4 who can't make his open threes. We didn't need another.

Maybe we could do a similar deal for Capela

 

Just thinking we have to spend a certain amount of money. He's better than any free agent we can get this year.
