See if you can get Collins back to playing well.

No way are we using a future first to dump Collins.


I mean, the worst of those two picks is probably going to be around 25+, plus, Mann is also coming back

But I'd fully get why Utah would be hesitant on that.


Collins is terrible next to a traditional big (Zubac?)

No, he's fine next to a traditional big. His issue is when you have multiple non-creators on the floor because he can't really do anything w/the ball so it just compounds, but with Harden I don't see that being a problem.

He was bad with Young (and Capela). Hes most effective as a small ball 5 or needs to be next to a stretch 5

I don’t see the fit. LAC only has 3 creators in Harden, Leonard, and Westbrook. Everyone else is questionable at best. I think LAC needs a more self reliant big, but I don’t know who for the money.

Is a 3 team deal with Utah, LAC, and NYK the answer? With Randle to LAC, Kessler and more to NYK, and picks to Utah? I could see that being the most helpful talent wise, but the money would be a mess.

His second best year was next to Capella.

that was also 4 years ago. His game have been trending downhill since. It'd be an expensive gamble to make to hope he can revert to 20-21 form

His stats have declined as his teams have gotten more talented. He's a fine 5th starter or 6th man and that is all he ever should have been. There will be no reversion to the raw stats he had before because those were entirely a product of being a top option on bad teams.
