Jazz trade for John Collins

[Jingled]

We should be a crazy good rebounding team.

Kessler, Lauri, Collins, Hendricks...yeah, should be one of the better rebounding teams in the league.

No thanks, I would have given a pick to never watch Gay play for us again.

Then buy him out and pocket the vet minimum.

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%..

That finger though

A 50 win team the next few years. Enough to make us dumb fans think we are relevant and have a shot when we really won’t.

We aren't a 50 win team though... if this made us a 50 win team it is a great effing deal.

Kevin O'Connor went with Lauri at PG.

Seems we're gonna get clowned as much or more than we're being praised.

Also keep in mind that this is the best Atlanta got for Collins. Any team with enough cap space could've pulled off this "steal".

We have more assets than almost any team in the entire league, which we can use to make big trades. This is no longer the Dennis Lindsey Utah Jazz...Ainge knows how to build a championship caliber team. I think the future is very bright.

It’s a joke. You’ll come around on Collins.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Utall Jazz lol

 

[framer]

Also think it is hilarious that DA gives zero effs about second round picks. DL and DA gonna put @infection in the looney bin. Ainge will not rest until we never have a second round pick ever.

JZ probably had to get a staffer to see if we actually had anymore 2nd round picks.

this is the route to go. I am guessing like the THT deal... they maybe thought someone was going to make a move for Collins so they moved... a FOMO thing maybe. They obviously like the player. Just feels like his market required more to move him.

I don't hate it... but the risk/reward is way off here for me.

 

[Shad]

For Bufkin. Let's be even slightly intellectually honest here.

I made a mistake interacting with you.

Keep crying like a baby hater!

That finger looks cooked.

@YoungJefe's Mom dreams of that finger.

Again with the positive... John Collins is such a better watch than Rudy Gay. He will mash on some guys this year.

Is there a worse watch than Rudy Gay tho?

A baby hater? ok

They found one behind one of Quin's unused challenges in the "**** we don't care about" pantry.

Sexton 24-George 12-Dunn 12
Ogbaji 28-THT 12-George 8
Lauri 32-THT 16
Collins 30-Hendricks 18
Kessler 32, KO 16

You are stupid

@YoungJefe's Mom dreams of that finger.

How do you think it got so bent? Two in the pink, one in the stink

 

[NUMBERICA]

I hope this means KO is out, then.

@Thee Idiotic Minivan K @Saint Cy of JFC

I like KO. I hate burning a top-10 pick on a guy and then burying him *checks date* four days later.
