Trade talks surrounding John Collins

John Collins attempts to drive past Joel Embiid.

Many expected John Collins to draw attention from the trade market this offseason. While the Hawks and Collins agreed to part ways, the Hawks failed to move the big man before the Draft.

Collins was tied to several teams early in the offseason. In this regard, the most viable trade option was with the San Antonio Spurs for Dejounte Murray. While the Hawks acquired Murray from the Spurs, they were unable to deal Collins in the process.

The last relevant trade destination practically shut itself down when the Phoenix Suns signed Deandre Ayton to a four-year deal. With all avenues closed, the Hawks will likely see Collins return to the lineup for opening night.

Collins signed a rookie max extension with the Atlanta Hawks in the 2021 offseason. The deal keeps him under contract until 2022.

The Hawks now have a potent combination of Dejounte Murray, Trae Young and Collins. Although Collins didn't have his best year last season, he has shown the ability to contribute when healthy.

The Hawks feature a fairly reliable starting rotation with De'Andre Hunter and Clint Capela in the frontcourt.
