Jazz trade for John Collins

[Elizah Huge]

He's only 25 and has been pretty healthy. I think he will flourish away from Trae Young.

Exactly, playing with Trae isn’t exactly the easiest.

 

[David Stern]

Hawks fans are saying his finger is permanently ****ed up and looks gnarly. Because of that he can’t really shoot anymore.

obviously Ainge used witchcraft to do that to his finger, it will be fine now

DA told him he had to cut that **** off.

Well he should sit the season working on that until it is fixed. **** out of here with any notion that you can just shrug off a disfigured finger on the shooting hand of a shaky shooter.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Look there is some amazing news we all have to embrace here... we never have to watch Rudy Gay play again.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

**** Danny!!!!!

 

[David Stern]

Olynyk
Hendricks
Collins
Lauri
Kessler

The all big lineup with Point Olynyk

That’s Point GOD Olynyk to you

 

[Elizah Huge]

Yeah I need something back for this deal. I don't love having a long term contract over top of Hendricks. If we flip him at the deadline or move KO separately for something then okay... just think we gave Atlanta a get out of jail free card.

We must really like him and I don’t really blame the FO for liking him. He’s really good. He had a down year last year.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jazz have so much lineup versatility for 5 out lineups with legitimate rim protection

 

[HermanG]

I was leading the hype train for JC all of last year but its obviously different now that we drafted Hendricks at #9. I still like it though, but less now than last season.

I still think JC will blossom in our system (change of scenery alone should boost him) and we will raise his trade value by a lot and we dont need to put too much on Tays plate.

Value trade that greatly improves the quality of our FC depth. Now we are truely one big trade away from being relevant.

Kuzma should be off the table now though.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I promise Hendricks is better right now than Collins.

 

[Coach Ellis]

We shouldn't be sending anything in positive value to eat that money. ****ing unbelievable.

I don’t think the Jazz did. I think this is a neutral move tbh.

 

[slc]

Would rather have Collins than Kuzma

 

[NUMBERICA]

Once again the jazz don’t have the patience to build the right way.

Sad to say I agree with you.

Have some ****ing patience. Why do this?

 

[prodigy]

Utah native John Collins. How do I know? Boler mentioned it everytime we played them. Don't know how to feel about this yet. But at least we didnt use a future 1st.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Well he should sit the season working on that until it is fixed. **** out of here with any notion that you can just shrug off a disfigured finger on the shooting hand of a shaky shooter.

Posted this just earlier today, but there are some signs his shooting is coming around. He shot 44% from 3 his last 12 games of the season and 34% from 3 in the playoffs.

Still a lot of risk there though, so I'm not sure how we weren't compensated for taking that risk on.

 

[Elizah Huge]

The whining is kind of annoying not going to lie.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I promise Hendricks is better right now than Collins.

As the leader of the Tay Henny fan club... if that is really the case then Hendricks is like ROY good. Rookies, even when really good, need time.

I don't love the trade though... said if it came with the Kings pick I was in... it appears it did not.

 

[Jingled]

Awesome! We got off Rudy Gay and all it cost us to get Collins is a second round pick. I would look for Collins to have a big bounce back after a down year last season. Should be a great fit next to Lauri and Kessler, and Hardy will use him correctly and bring out the best in him. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get back to 20 points a game next season and get his 3 point percentage back above 35%..

 

[NUMBERICA]

I don’t think the Jazz did. I think this is a neutral move tbh.

Yeah, picking up the $78 million tab on a malcontent that can't shoot and plays the same position(s) as where most of our talent is is flaming orange dog ****.
