“Meanwhile, the Hawks have had several teams in the Collins market, such as Utah, Washington, Brooklyn and Dallas, sources said. Atlanta has not shown interest so far in a potential framework that would contain Brooklyn’s Joe Harris, those sources said. Phoenix has a desire for Collins but does not appear inclined to take on the forward, who is in the second season of a five-year, $125 million pact.
However, Washington has a piece in Kyle Kuzma that would be appealing to Atlanta, but there doesn’t appear to be traction on a potential framework there either.
For their part, the Nets have been surging recently, winning seven of their last eight games and currently holding the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference at 16-12, and could look at Collins as a necessary jolt to their frontcourt.”

Just get a goddamn bigman. We really don’t need another lanky forward, right?
Honestly I’m not too sure trading Harris + other pieces for Collins would be a huge upgrade anyhow.
I don’t think Collins is the guy anyway. I don’t think Harris for Collins as a framework would help the Nets all that much.
A guard/wing who can defend quicker guards, and a bigger big man who can help them not get abused on the boards (but isn’t as horrible a shooter as Drummond) should be the targets.
I’m not all that interested in John Collins. Meh defensive forward who isn’t good enough defensively to play the 5 next to Ben & Ben himself cannot survive an entire game at the 5
If the Nets trade Joe Harris it’d have to be for an athletic wing personally
I also might rather trade Seth because of the impending free agency + his defensive weakness against better teams
