NBA Trades: 3 John Collins trades based on recent NBA rumors – Sacramento Kings
Hawks receive: Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield
Kings receive: John Collins, Cam Reddish, Gorgui Dieng, Jalen Johnson, 2025 Second-Round Pick
This trade would see the Atlanta Hawks get two players that can come in and immediately help them win. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings would start looking towards the future a bit more.
Both Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes are players that could instantly start alongside Trae Young. Hield’s shooting and Barnes’ versatility on both ends would be a huge help.
Atlanta’s starting lineup would look something like this – Young, Hield, De’Andre Hunter, Barnes, and Capela. That’s a pretty well-rounded team around their star.
On the other side of things, the Kings would put another young All-Star next to their backcourt. De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton would have John Collins to throw lobs to. The pick n’ pop game would also be immaculate.
Cam Reddish heading to Sactown would also be huge. He’d give them a nice wing piece to develop that has shown flashes of being a solid scorer.
The starting lineup could look like Fox, Haliburton, Reddish, Collins, and Richaun Holmes. That’s a nice, young, up-and-coming group.
With how poorly both of these teams have been playing, this would be a nice shake-up all around. Sacramento would look towards the future while the Hawks would look at winning right now.
