NBA Insider Says Hawks Have Let John Collins’ Representatives Look For A Trade To Send Him To New Team

The Atlanta Hawks really want to move John Collins.

John Collins was once a stellar role player for the Atlanta Hawks, but this season, he has struggled heavily. Thus far, John Collins is only averaging 13.1 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 1.2 APG, while only shooting 23.6% from beyond the arc.

Due to his struggles, there have been many rumors that have suggested the Atlanta Hawks are trying to move the power forward. In fact, a recent report revealed that they have massively lowered their asking price for Collins.

As of right now, it seems as though the Atlanta Hawks are exhausting every possibility to move John Collins. A report from NBA insider Marc Stein revealed that they have even authorized John Collins’ representatives to try and find a “deal construction” that sends him to a new team.

In recent weeks, league sources say, Atlanta has blessed John Collins’ representatives to do their own searching for a deal construction that enables Collins to move on to a long-anticipated new address after constant trade speculation involving the sixth-year forward stretching across multiple transaction cycles.

That widely expected deal obviously hasn’t materialized yet, while Atlanta’s front office is only just emerging from the throes of the sort of in-season overhaul you rarely see thanks to the sudden transfer of power from Travis Schlenk to Landry Fields and Nick Ressler (son of Hawks owner Tony Ressler). As has been reported for weeks now, varying degrees of interest in Collins have been registered by Washington, Utah, Brooklyn and Indiana.

It remains to be seen if John Collins will actually end up on a new team in the future. He can still be a valuable player, and we’ll see if any team is willing to take the risk on him and make a move.


John Collins Understands He Can’t Control Trade Rumors

Even though he has been featured in trade rumors for a while, John Collins has seemingly been unaffected by the constant speculation about his future. Previously, Collins noted that he can’t control his situation, comparing his position with the Hawks to Kevin Durant’s position with the Nets during his trade request.

To Collins’ credit, he has learned to find his peaceful place during trade season by taking a balanced, big-picture view.

“I play basketball every day, you know what I mean?” Collins said while sitting in the stands at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento last week before Atlanta’s 120-117 win over the Kings. “I come in and I play basketball, and whatever happens happens because I don’t control that side. I don’t have any control over any decisions that get made. Where I am and where I play, I don’t have any control over that.

“I can say, ‘Hey, I want to do this and I wanna do that,’ and they can just do whatever they feel is fair. You saw it with Kevin Durant (last summer), right? He’s begging for trade, and Brooklyn is like, ‘Nah.’ Not saying that I’m Kevin Durant, but it’s just the mentality of ‘Yeah, you can say whatever, you can make a public scene, you can do whatever, (but it won’t matter).’”

The business side of basketball can be ruthless at times, and we’ve seen even the best players on the trade block in the past. John Collins is right in saying that players generally have little control over where they go, and where they end up playing if a team wants to move them.

Hopefully, though, we see John Collins get moved to a place where he can flourish as a player. He has had to take a backseat this season on the Hawks, but perhaps we’ll see him blossom in a place where he can get touches and show what he’s capable of doing.
