Should the Jazz sell high by flipping John Collins while they are rebuilding? (alien.top)

John Collins is averaging an easy 15/9 while stretching the floor and playing solid defense. Jazz clearly won't make the playoffs with Sexton so maybe they can score a few FRPs for JC.

Man balled out once is now trade bait forever. Lesson to the middle level players, don't try too hard

[–] Both_Funny4896@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

he’s actually a very good underrated player. The problem is that his contract doesn’t match his production at all.

[–] charley3fly@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

So he’s not underrated

[–] GunnerTardis@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Collins is not a high value player, the Jazz got him for free. What makes you think they could sell him high for? He's past his prime.

[–] ActualJesus14@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lol, he's absolutely not past his prime. He's just overpaid.

[–] TroelMVP11D@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sell high? Who the hell is still high on John Collins rn? Lol He's overpaid and on a bad team and he's not really doing that much rn anyways

[–] BetweenTheBuzzAndMe@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would not hate him at all for Charlotte. Especially if Bridges doesn't eventually return long-term

[–] IAmReborn11111@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Him and PJ seem redundant

[–] FrankerZ_123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Who would even want to trade for him lol

[–] Sammcbucketts@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No one wants to take on that horrible contract

[–] medievalmachine@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, we've seen time and again that horrible contracts can have their own appeal in certain situations.

[–] Sammcbucketts@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Typically as they reach the end of it, yes. The contract could be moveable after this season.

[–] dangheckinpupperino@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If his 3 ball is here to stay (the last 40 or so games of basketball says it is) then he’s just as good as ever.

But can anyone think of a team that already has a stretch 5 AND a great playmaking PG that has a hole at the 4 spot? This lineup is the only way to maximize Collins’ talent

[–] papi617@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Grizzlies maybe? JJJ as the stretch 5 and Ja when comes back?

[–] dangheckinpupperino@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Plausible. Collins is a good rebounder and could help JJJ in that department

[–] ImDefAMunch@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

he fucking sucks. take it from a hawks fan.

[–] ruja_ignatova@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Don't know... but Uber'd to somewhere in Queens for a gangbang with a trans gal....

1 tall boy of Miller, 1 Modelo, and a double of Jamison wad not worth it.

Going home.... The job is going to fire me at some point.

Balls out Resume for the weekend.

[–] Zeratzul@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think if you could get a FRP for Collins, he'd already be gone.

[–] Phantom-Fireworks@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

hopefully whoever the jazz are trading with are like op and haven't watched a single jazz game this year

'solid defence' is not something that describes a single jazz player, excepting walker kessler alone

[–] DonePlaying88@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sell high? Are u high? Collins has never been high

[–] MostlyMellow123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Id take him over harrison barnes

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Oh shit, Renslayer was a good guy? Girl?

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Most purpose is more burden than glory

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They just got him

[–] Kdot19@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think they should rebuild by trading Lauri

To the sixers

[–] OkBar8273@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’s needed bad on the heat

[–] unagipower123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hawks spent like years trying to dump his ass. How tf are the Jazz supposed to get any value out of him

[–] sabdo23@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ainge

[–] liver_in_atlanter@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

John collins is the 56th highest paid player this year. And he wouldn’t be a third option on most teams. Who the fuck is giving up first round picks for him……

[–] bullpaw@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Imo he's been horrid this season, the counting stats are misleading

[–] tapk69@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Cavs time to offer D Wade.

[–] 2020IsANightmare@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wait a damn second.

Flip JOHN COLLINS for MULTIPLE FIRSTS?!? LMAO!!!!!

The Hawks flipped Collins for the corpse of Rudy Gay and a FUTURE second and immediately got better.

If Utah can get an expiring in order to get of Collins' contract, then sure. Do it!

[–] Overall-Palpitation6@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They just got the guy, and he's yet to really rebuild his value after last year. There's no "selling high" to be done yet.
