Man yall still on this delusion that you add complementary players first and then go for the stars who complement the complementary players. It dont work like that and no one has ever build a team like that

If we could land Collins for rozier and a SRP swap... i mean Id think that deal would have been done by now. Doesnt get any cheaper of an asking price than that. Ainge wants his tank commander.

Oh man, thats another name people tried to say was better than Bam back in the day. (Hawks fans mostly). He must have really fallen off if he could be gotten that cheap.

If Miami gets Collins then it is likely Adebayo or Ware is traded.
Don't see a reason to have 25m Collins to come of the bench

So… will we get a flurry of answers in 30 minutes? Would be nice to have clarity and quick.

Can’t, but you can hint at it. Spell it out with every third letter being part of the main message.

He was chit on in Miami.

Might as well be Piston in Detroit.

Also there’s a sign and trade involved, so I’m assuming we’re getting Hardaway?

Tell that to the 2025-2026 Rockets. Is KD not just sliding in to an already built team that just won 50 games? Just missing a player like him? They've got options and will likely use that MLE on a player but that team was fully formed before he joined.

Hardaway is an UFA. If we're taking guys who are older, I'd rather have Fontecchio. He'll be 30 in December and has one year left on his deal. He had a bad year last year. Had been much better in previous years. They phased him out and his numbers suffered.
