Shams Charania, a well-known reporter from The Athletic, reported that the Atlanta Hawks have officially opened up their trading attitude to team power forward John Collins.
The Hawks no longer regard Collins as a non-sale item, and the Hawks management stated that they are willing to listen to other teams’ offers for Collins. The acceptable plan for the Hawks is to trade Collins to get a future high pick in the first round of the lottery draft!
The 23-year-old Collins has played in 26 games this season, averaging 31.6 minutes, averaging 18.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1 hot pot.
In the process of the Eagles’ rebuilding, Trae Young and Collins were regarded as the core by the senior management. Although they were only the No. 19 rookie in 2017, Collins made rapid progress. Last season, Collins averaged 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.6 hot pot. . With Capela’s debut this season, Collins’ numbers began to decline.
This summer, Collins’ rookie contract will expire. In order to preserve the future of the team, the Eagles management offered a 4-year extension of 90 million yuan, but Collins explicitly rejected it. What he wanted was a 5-year 1.63 contract. A maximum salary contract of up to 195 million yuan! For other teams, a first-round pick for Collins is quite a bargain. For the Eagles, they are also helpless, although the asking price is too low, but if they wait until this summer, the Eagles will be empty and empty.
