  1. I like this & also think Collins isn’t even interesting unless something substantial is added.

  2. Hmm… Interesting. Having 10 and 15 in the draft is pretty good. We can use one to trade for a good player while still drafting a rookie. I don’t mind losing Reggie/Bertans. But Collins salary, man. And his archetype. Will Kidd use him properly and he had a down performance this past seasons.

  3. botebote77

    and we don’t have to give the 10? yeah I’ll take it

  4. RyceMenace

    If we can get 10 and 15 Im tongue kissing Nico on the butt.

  5. messigoat1337

    am i wrong for thinking we need a stretch5 center next to collins tho? Because without one we cant really run pnr with collins where he excels at

  6. KBooks66

    I have never heard of Eric Pincus, is he a legit source.

  7. Salahs_Chest_Hair

    I would see that as a win as Reggie is going to regress, Bertans is mushy peas and we get two young guys in no.10 and no.15.

    This trade means we pass up on Ayton who is *soft* in the playoffs.

  8. Exactly. Especially in this Bradley Beal climate. Hawks need to pipe down.

  9. They hate collins that much? They could’ve swapped him for wood last season without picks

  10. Active_Page_3886

    It’s a no-brainer if that’s the case. Lively at 10 and Miller at 15 would be an incredible haul

  11. dogfood_connoisseur

    I’ll get fully behind this FO and rescind all the shit I’ve talked if they can pull this off, seems too good to be true though.

  12. whitefang0824

    I hope Nico manage to pull this one lol. 10th and 15th with John Collins is a home run.

    If Hawks are willing to do this, it is a no brainer yes for Mavs lol.

  13. MahomesMccaffrey

    Reminds me of 2018 when hawks were willing to trade number 3 if we give them 5 and take bazemore’s contract.

    We ended up give up a first to save cap space

  14. Unless Mavs have a bonafide third starter they are going after, I don’t want Collins.

    We give up two expiring contracts, one who is a wing that can still defend and knock down 3s.

    We instead get a $25 mil tweener for 3 years who is an odd fit and two rookies. That’s not how you build a contender.

    Who does Collins guard when starting next to Luka. We all heard Dinwiddie say Luka has to guard the four on most nights.

  15. hurricanesznsover

    Seems like every other team can get highway robberies like this where we’d have to realistically include our first, Hardy, Green, and future firsts somehow.

  16. I’ll take on Collins for 15 straight up thats huge

  17. Much better if this happens.

    Draft Lively at 10. Trade back to the Nets for 21 and 22. Hope one of O-Max, Clowney, Jackson-Davis, and Leonard Miller is there. Get Hood-Schifino/Emoni Bates, too.

  18. WolvesBite

    Yeah no lmfao they aren’t trading y’all 15 and Collins just for some expiring contracts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  19. ElChiChiPapa

    Y’all remember when we wanted Collins real bad last offseason? Times change man lol

  20. Mal_Swansky

    I’m assuming Wemby also falls to us in this timeline, yes?

  21. chasinglightph

    If true, we got if made. We have Collins at 4 then draft Lively to pair with him and another pick to use as trade bait for a big defensive wing.

    How real is this news?

  22. hawktomegoose

    Give me Capela, Collins, and 15 for Bertans, Tim, McGee, and 10

  23. JeffreyAlton

    Is Collins any better than Wood though?
