Smith looks pretty nice. Chris Bosh-esque
You think Collins is valued as better than an MLE player after the season he has had?

Golden State gets some size? Collins is a terrible rim defender. You could have argued he was MLE worthy as a 37% three point shooter but he's not one as a 31% three point shooter.

i agree. From long long perspective ( outsideST) our Collins isnt so bad.
I've long had him as the dark horse for the Spurs natural 1st.
If he were an upcoming free agent, Collins would probably be worth the room or "mini" mid level exception. Possible trade candidates . . .
Hornets: Along with their 1st back and multiple 2nds for Bertans and Richards.
Jazz: For J. Collins.
Wizards: Along with Hornets 1st for Holmes.
Severe tax issues, he doesn't solve their spacing issues among their bigs and even though he's taller than all of them, he plays the smaller.
He's pretty raw, but has some athleticism and some real skill. I'd hhave no problem if we took him with the Tor pick. In fact, I think he's on the Spurs board for sure. I agree with TD that he's a darkhorse candidate..
Risacher with another very slow game... 4 points on 2-7 shooting, 0-4 from 3 in 22 minutes
he's had a really rough stretch of games at this point
What MLE player? The fanciful one that is handsome and powerful and great at everything in your mind?
Collins is a good player who had a ty year. That's it. Many teams would be very happy to have him.
Do you think teams will give up $17 million in capspace to land Collins this summer?
It's not even a very slow game, it's a completely ty game. No steals, no assists, no rebounds, three fouls. He's been straight up bad for a while. He doesn't even seem like a lottery pick much less a guy at the top of the draft.
Who gives a crap because he's not getting traded. The whole conversation is pointless.
LOL refusing to answer the question after getting y when I said no one is taking Collins into their capspace just to get two second round picks.
Here is a short list of some backup centers who get paid less than Collins once his extension kicks in (dollar figures listed are AAV in millions):
Big Daddy Val - $15.0
Mitc Robinson - $15.0
Naz - $14.0
Zubac - $10.9
Mo Wagner - $8.0
Hartenstein - $8.0
Plumlee - $5.0
Powell - $4.0
Drummond - $3.3
Zeller - $3.2
T Bryant - $2.7
Eubanks - $2.5
Mo Bamba - $2.3
If Collins were a FA, I couldn't see anyone offering him above the MLE, personally, but who knows.
No. ing. Teenagers.
who are you taking #1 overall? clingan? knecht?
all the top guys are teens
Clingan with the TOR pick or trade it. Just no more ing teenagers.
nah, Kolek
lets see if kolek has another good game
well, six days ago he had 13 points in 21 minutes (3-8 from 3) when they played in Nanterre, one of the better teams from the french league.
three days ago he had 8 points vs. Besiktas in the Eurocup (2-4 from 3), he hit his two 3s in Q4, crucial to eventually win the game.
both games were far from outstanding, but both games were far from bad as well. Both games he did show some of what makes NBA teams intrigued.
we are talking about three pro league games within one week. Including a long trip to Istanbul. A 18 years old kid. One bad game, two mediocre games with still some highlights. Give the kid a break. He is good. Spurs will pick him if he‘s on the board.
“Give the kid a break” is a statement that’s ok for kids projected 8th, 9th, 10th… not the ing 1st or 2nd pick.
this guy is being handed that top 2 le. He deserves no break, especially when players in the past picked in that range accomplished a a lot more than playing mediocre in pro league games.
“long trip to Istanbul” big ing whoop
tHaT tALeNt iS So hIgH It’S oOzIng Out oF mY sCrEen
People are lying to themselves if they watch these clips and come away impressed. The glow is coming straight from the media and from no other player stepping up and it’s sad.
yeah i still have him #1
