NBA Trades: 5 suitors for John Collins and Atlanta Hawks: Utah Jazz

Another potential suitor for John Collins could be the Utah Jazz. Following a historical trade that sent All-Defensive center Rudy Gobert to Minnesota, the Jazz should be exploring ways to enhance the roster around star Donovan Mitchell.

If Utah avoids a full rebuild and attempts to pursue upgrades to the core this summer, inquiring about John Collins would be a fascinating idea. Collins could bring forth exciting contributions on both ends of the floor for both the present and long-term future with four years remaining on his current contract.

The Jazz could offer a variety of assets such as Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Jared Butler. Or, they could include any pieces from the reported Gobert trade that include Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, and Leandro Bolmaro once enough time passes and they are eligible to be traded again. Utah also possesses a boatload of draft picks now that can be utilized to acquire strong talent like Collins.

Atlanta should be interested in Utah’s assets, especially sharpshooting forward Bojan Bogdanovic, so it seems like a potential deal between the Hawks and Jazz could reach the final stage. As both organizations prepare to improve, a trade sending John Collins to the Utah Jazz could benefit all parties involved.
