It’s the entire premise for trading him.  

No, it's your assumptive read on what people are saying.

Simple answer is Collins has no value with that contract.  He was barely able to make outside shots the last year he played with us.  Ingram is capable of being a primary focal point of an offense.  Utah would trade Collins in a heart beat if they could get a decent return.  

Not being an "insider" I can't say for sure, but it's safe to say there are way more teams interested in Brandon Ingram than Collins.  What we think individually doesn't matter.  The league perceives Collins as a much lower tier player.

 

You're taking me too literally.

I'm not suggesting they're the same, value-wise.

KB likes them but I could care less about them and Suggs ain't even available for trade. 

Yeah, the Outsiders concur.

Kinda hard to say until we actually know the lottery order. 

Not really.  It's an illustration that..

(a) duh, that's a major need for ATL and

(b) draft order is inconsequential when the #1 prospect isn't significantly better than the 15 or 17th guy - it's more about fit and need.

Hey, I don't reveal my sources, hotSupes.

He doesn't have consistent health to support Liami's asking price, imho.

Pelicans to circle back with Hawks in trade talks?

Will Guillory: The Pelicans were also having conversations with Atlanta going into the trade deadline about potentially Dejounte Murray and maybe one of their bigs. I think that’s another team to keep an eye on.

There's only so much time left in this crazy world ....

I love this more than anyone will ever know.

TJ McConnell is like the Harold Minor of Trae Youngs

We are in a period of parody in the league, but all the teams being at the same crap level of kick out for 3’s bball. 
 

So ya, few tweaks is more than enough to get us over and we don’t even need to trade Trae for parts to do it!  

Waaaaat?  You sayin' we could maybe keep the only all-nba level player on the roster, that wants to play here, if we wanna win?

Craaazy!

So ya don't think we shld trade him for oUr PiCkS bAk, then tank for another 7-8 years so we can maybe .... maaaaaybe luck into an all-nba caliber level player that actually wants to play here?

Ya think?

But seriously, we're not far off.  Folks watching half these teams stank it up and think we need to rebuild.  Really?  When the only teams looking decent rn are the ones that actually went for it at the deadline.  They're just trying where we (our front office) chose not to.

If we had tried, and got a bit more I jury luck, we'd still be playing. We didn't try, we just hung our best player out to dry.

Greatest coaching staff of all time!

 

Gotta actually win to make that claim.

If there is any coach that can fix it, it is Bud.  

It's not about what he "can" do.  It's about what they let him do.

A blind man could see this coming.

The same blind man could see Buden being a prime candidate considering his parents are in PHX, iirc.

I think it'd be a mistake tho.  That's a toxic roster that a coaching change can't fix, imho.

Dang that's crazy.  Not smart at all.  Yet somehow Brett Favre is a free man. 

Preach.  When people complain about there being multiple systems of justice(sic), consider examples like this. 

The (Kn)Fix is In!

Its been a cool 40-sum years since the Knix had a 'chip.  But leave it to ol' WackAdam to get them over the top.  He couldnt do it for the playoffs.  Nah, that would be too obvious.

Let's adjust the rules mid-season then lie about it.  No one will suspect a thing, right?

We'll reinstitute fowl-ball just in time for the Knix to thrive.  But thats not enough.  We'll, simultaneously, allow their starr to get every call.  Foul-bait, smoul-bait.  Anything goes, as long as it goes for tha Knix.

Dont say I didn't warn you.... 

I Seen Enough!

Ah do say sur.  How dare you falsely accuse mah client?  Restitution will be deelivered for this slanderous accusation!

These kids don't know what they're missing.  Instead of Looney Tunes, they got all these weird a** shows and cartoons that are devoid of all the murder, animal abuse, and other hilarious shenanigans. 

Seriously though, how'd we all end up sane watching all these shows?

Well does it count if you’re fired the day you’re off but that it took management a day because they were too lazy? HEY, I don’t work there anymore fckem! And that’s freedom of speech! 
 

Sorry I was making it a joke but I went to an annoying place for myself I digress..

@bird_dirt is on the run, evading the attempted murder charge.  Also a destruction of property charge for the damage done to my keyboard.  I'm seeking restitution.

That's a good, sound hire.  I wish they'd have gone with the splashy, nonsense hire that would make headlines but wouldn't make wins.  Ah well, we'll see how this works out.
