Mavs trade deadline and draft thread

[purplefrog]

I thought the MBT might make a move to trade for John Collins last summer. They ended up with Grant. I am guessing both teams have buyer's remorse. Perhaps a change of scenery would help all parties involved. Grant + Holmes for Collins is not far-fetched given JC's bloated contract. Jazz might reason that it would be easier to dump GW's $14M contract than Collins $25M or just the change in system would somehow ignite the energy lacking in Grant . Mavs might be thinking JC would help with rebounding and be as potent as GW from beyond the arc. I would rather trade GW for Olynyk but it appears there will be a lot of competition for KO. This is the kind of trade that seems more likely than somehow getting Siakam.

It is funny that after Grant sported that Eagles jersey that his game has plummeted. Guess he let the Cowboys fans get to him...

I'm down. Collins rebounding would complement Lively as much as the latter's defense helps Collins at the 4.

John Collins has fit this roster for a while now. (edit: much better now with Lively)

Collins could also log some minutes as a stretch 5. That is something the Mavs do not have right now (maybe Kleber eventually, but I wouldn't count on it). Collins' salary is way too high for his expected contribution, but it might be worth it if you can make a trade without giving up Hardy or Green (might need them for a second move down the road).
