Jazz Acquire John Collins From Hawks
1 year agoAtlanta Hawks forward John Collins appears to be finally on the move after being subject to trade rumors for what seemed like at least a season. The Utah Jazz will acquire Collins from the Hawks in exchange for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick. This appears to be a salary dump for the Hawks as Collins still has three years, $78 million remaining on his current contract. The Hawks needed to clear cap space with Dejounte Murray, Saddiq Bey, and Onyeka Okongwu all becoming free agent after next season. This move should give the Hawks more cap flexibility going forward. A move to Utah should give Collins a shot at increased fantasy relevance. He was the third option in Atlanta, but should give more opportunities on the rebuilding Jazz roster.
