When Atlanta gave up Luka, IIRC they received Dallas unprotected 1st round pick the following draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Dallas and Toronto are two teams rumored to be interested in Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton is still under contract so it wouldn't have to be a S&T, wonder what Sexton would net in a trade though? Assuming it'd have to be picks or another young player unless the Cavaliers were also dumping Love's deal or including Prince/Nance for salary matching purposes.

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 @Bullet Club I think Sexton would be a nice fit with your boy Luka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd likely have to have a deal in place with Houston or Cleveland like we saw with the Luka/Trae swap. That’s what I said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my mistake, normal trade with Sexton. He's a good player but you can't roll with the Sexton/Garland combo going forward (ask Portland) and Sexton is the undersized one whose contract comes up first. He should still net you a good player or like you said you could use him to dump Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 1 minute ago, Bullet Club said: I'd consider it Love is washed but maybe going to a contending team would rejuvenate him. Plus Sexton would take so much pressure off of Luka. Would also allow you to move on from THJ and pursue a center in free agency with the cap space you do have. You could also probably move some pieces and offer John Collins a max deal, I know Atlanta wasn't interested in paying him what he wanted and you were rumored to be a potential suitor for him.

I'm totally unaware on ATL's situation - but is Collins really that likely to leave if they get to Finals? Young, Capela and he are the 3 guys that ATL can't really replace skill-wise. Hunter's a huge asset but he's a 3 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked the Hawks for a max deal, they offered him a 4 yr/$90M extension and he turned it down. He could sign a 4 yr/$118M offer sheet this summer with another team. If the Hawks match it that would put them in the luxury tax I believe and that's with other guys like Trae Young, Cam Reddish, DeAndre Hunter, and Kevin Huerter due for extensions soon too.

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Collins is a good player but he averaged 18/7 in the regular season and is averaging 15/9 in the playoffs. Is he worth $30M APY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he worth $30M APY? If he chases the $ entirely, then no. But am I mistaken in that Collins' requests also came when the old regime was in place coaching-wise? ATL's winning, and McMillan as coach, and the use of Collins as more of a central piece....man, they have a lot to offer Collins to stay. If they offered 4/100....man, I know players chase the $ (and rightfully so, given the uncertainty of the next contract), but they can make a far more compelling case than they could have 3 months ago.
