Uta Gs (bit different) 

Post#1 » by fluffhead » Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:25 pm

Collins 4 Wiggins

Warriors get there stretch big
Jazz get rid of Collins

Wiggins could go to a third team if neede

Maybe Milwaukee does Lopez for Wiggins, especially with Middleton out again

I'd rather have Collins than Wiggins.

I'd much rather have Collins two year contract than Wiggins three.

Collins is fool's gold. No interest in acquiring him, even for just Wiggins.

At least when Wiggins is playing well he can help a team win meaningful basketball games.

Don’t make sense for either team imo. GS needs what Wiggins can do when he’s on more than what Collins can when he is.

Kind of like with Kuminga in the Lauri deal, Jazz got a lot of forwards to find minutes for and don’t need Wiggins taking any

Not trying to say Utah should do this (because they're not trying to win now so there's no reason to eat the extra year on Wiggins' deal) but at least from an outsider's perspective, it seems like Utah has a lot of smaller guards and a lot of forwards/bigs, but very few true wings like Wiggins.

Absolutely correct. We have almost no wings on the roster, just combo guards and guys who should mostly play power forward or center. Jury is out on where Williams settles, kind of think he might be a 4, too.

But I'm out on this concept. Wiggins had a brief stretch of meaningful basketball and that's it, I have no confidence that he will positively contribute to another team during his career.

No argument here. Just from my perspective, it might be good for Utah to swap a big for a wing -- but not necessarily this way.
