Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted November 25, 2020 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm still puzzled at all these talking heads and "experts" that thought he was coming here to start over Collins or at SF. It literally made no sense. 8 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how many times I've had to write on RealGM when someone says he has no outside game, just lobs......."Collins shot 40% from 3 this past season" 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLLINS IS ON THE TRADE BLOCK!" reactions. I think I've responded to at least a dozen of these YT videos or posts on realgm before I just gave up. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco102 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Travis' entire press conference. Note: There are many more national writers on this call than many other calls. Hawks on the come up. Edited November 25, 2020 by marco102 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Boston coworker still thinks they are getting Collins? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just exposes how out of touch they are when it comes to their basektball IQ, and general awareness of different teams in the league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddielives Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thank goodness Schlenk is, more or less, putting these Gallinari at SF assertions to rest. Look. It'd be great if there was a world in which he could hold his own at the 3. But in reality, he's going to be an extremely valuable backup PF and maybe, just maybe, the occasional minute or two at SF. But in no way shape or form is he going to be a game in and game out SF. He's expensive as crap for just being a backup PF but it's the only sensible way to hedge our bets he doesn't get hurt and doesn't get exposed any more as a bad defender than he already has. I'm fine with 15-20 minutes a game from him. Let's move on please. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he will pull 25-28 minutes per game between PF (mainly) and SF (only when it makes sense) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Gallo cant guard wings. 4 is the only position he can play at this stage of his career 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s going to happen. I really do...collins can get a big contract and still be moveable down the line if things don’t work out. and NO I’m not saying we are trading him I’m just saying his value is not likely to take any falls so to me he’s a safe signing even if you planned to move him in the future.

bleachkit Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 He's a stretch 4 primary, but he's a legit three level scorer, you use him in all kinds of line ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
