Jazz B+ They could’ve gotten more picks for Collins somewhere else like the lakers but they get off so much money and get vets to mentor their young guys like Kessler and Hendricks, even Bailey, and get a free second so they did really well trading Collins because he couldn’t stay and getting off more money so they can come out of the rebuild why still tied to Markennan’s contract.
Heat A- They barely gave up anything to get a 20ppg scorer on their team, he’s a very trustworthy vet to pair with Bam and Herro, I think this was their way of saying that they wanna contend in an open east, I think that they orchestrated it perfectly so even though they got extra money, they’ll do just fine, also nobody here is injury prone and all are fine with other stars, gonna do great.
Clippers B+ They just found a star for an aging high quality scorer and a second, Collins is a lot younger and he might even resign, but they have found a way to extend they’re playoff window a little longer with PG: Harden SG Dunn SF Kawhi PF Collins C Zubac when healthy, found a way to contend even if injuries could derail them, pretty good deal.
Conclusions: Didn’t expect a deal like this but the GM’s showed their true genius making a great trade for all three, clippers are being risky but all in all it’s a good move to push all three teams in the right direction.
