Re: Jazz and Lakers
Yeah I think this trade is fine. Finding small value to add to the two fillers and I think there are lots of versions that could work.
But disappointed at the missed opportunity to say “Knecht to nothing”

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Meh, the Jazz simply pass. Rui is not at all interesting and Dalton Knect likely isn't getting any significant playing time on the Jazz. Maybe this is his value, but if so, may as well keep him.

Virtually no chance the Lakers trade Rui and Knecht for Collins.

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Easy no
Since I dont see us trading our 2031 1st for a short term solution, Knecht is our last trade asset to attatch with Rui (very slight positive value and an expiring)

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Kleber, Vincent, and a 2nd or two feels closer.

100%. The difference between Collins and Rui isn't Knecht. It's probably 2 SRPs.

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Weird trade. I have Rui as an equal player to Collins making less salary.

Agreed. They're definitely in that same tier.

Still seems like something that can actually happen but if it was it would’ve happened (agreed to) by now.

LA is probably looking for guard depth first, IMO. I bet guys like Collins get traded when all the other deals are mostly done (including Horford/Brogdon free agency).

Idk why the Lakers are trading Rui for Collins. Pointless.

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Probably have to include Lakers SRP in this trade, but I like it. Lakers as of late that I know of, haven't shown interest in Collins, but could be a strategy on their part?.

I like Rui and all, but Collins is more consistent, more athletic and more of a lob threat then what Rui is, better suited for Luka

There's a mixed bag of feelings between fans and wanting Rui over Collins, that's for sure.

Just not worth it considering the Lakers being limited in the assets department

Re: Jazz and Lakers
I can quint my eyes and call collins the better player. But not way he the better expiring contract. Lakers wouldn’t add incentive here.
Think they the same tier of player with different advantages. John higher upside when it come to points. Rui has IQ, less turnover and not fouling advantage. Both meh defenders. Rui slightly less meh on defense.

Re: Jazz and Lakers
Think the idea of collins is great till he on your roster. On paper a stretch big that is also a vertical threat sounds great.
