And I can't see the Pelicans relegate Valanciunas to the bench and move Zion to play center so he could play with Collins and Ingram. Are they going to pay Collins 25M per year to come off the bench? Unlikely.
This rumor makes no sense for the Pelicans. I may be wrong, but it looks like the Hawks are trying to generate fake interest to drive up the price.
You are correct, Hawks are trying to drive up the cost.
