Not so long ago, John Collins seemed to be one of the most credible candidates for a trade. There was also this visibly strained relationship with Trae Young, whom he blamed for an excess of individualism on the pitch. Everything has changed in recent months. Collins has once again become a vital Atlanta Hawks pawn while remaining statistically prolific. Despite significant demands, Collins has just tied his future to the 2021 Eastern Conference finalist.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, John Collins is committed for 5 years and an amount of 125 million dollars with the Hawks. The former Wake Forest player will have a player option for his fifth year of contract, when he will be 28 years old.
Last season Collins averaged 17.6 points and 6.4 rebounds at 55.6%. By returning to the services of the person concerned, the front office guarantees Nate McMillan the presence of a hard core over the coming years around Trae Young, John Collins, Clint Capela (until 2023) or even Kevin Boo.
