Earlier today, the eagle and the Jazz reached a deal, specifically, the eagle sent John Collins to the Jazz, in exchange for Guy and a future round sign. After The news was revealed by Woj, US media The Athletic rated The deal.
Jazz: A
Jazz has loved John Collins for some time, and now they have got the player without paying any price, which is a great victory for them.
Collins is not a hot figure in the trading market this year. He has just had a bad season with the lowest average score except the rookie season and a new career low field goal percentage. In the first five seasons of his career, Collins field goal percentage 55.9 percent, hit 37.6 percent in three points, and dropped to 50.8 percent and 29.2 percent respectively in the 22-23 season.
Having said that, Collins has been an excellent running pitcher in recent seasons, and is a gear breaker above the average level of the league. He can still jump high, buckle the ball into rim, and make the defender the background of the poster. We still have reason to expect him to rebound strongly in the new season.
Jazz has just witnessed the best season of marcanin’s career so far. The latter has been selected as an All-Star and won the Player award for the fastest progress. Collins may be too ambitious to complete the transformation like malcanin, but he does have room to rise. The Jazz should allow marcanin, Collins and Walker Kessler to play together, because marcanin has shown that he can be qualified as a small forward when the Knight plays. They can also take three players apart and use them. Collins’s joining has enriched their choices in the front team.
On the whole, Sir always appreciated Collins, and now they finally got what they wanted. Moreover, they achieved their goal with little cost. For them, there is nothing better than this.
Eagle: F +
I must admit that I am not very optimistic about Collins. He has outstanding athletic ability and good skills, but I never think he can be qualified as a starting power forward in a strong team. It seems that Eagle has the same idea as me these years, because he is always associated with trading rumors, even when he became a restricted free agent in 2021, they also tried not to give him a big contract, but to exchange him for some valuable assets.
Finally, after trying to trade Collins for many years, the eagle finally did it. However, did you exchange him for 36-year-old guy and a round sign? This is unacceptable. Whether you look at Collins or not, he is not worth the price.
Collins is still a valuable asset, but the eagle used him to exchange such chips. Their performance is called disaster.
Of course, this transaction also has some merits. They got a special transaction of 25.3 million dollars and got Guy’s expired contract, which can make a difference later. In addition, they also reduced the total salary of the new season below the tax line, successfully avoiding the tax.
The resumption of this deal always feels that the eagle made a decision based on salary considerations. We will see how they will do in the next few weeks and whether there are any follow-up operations, and then we will get a more accurate conclusion. However, whether it is for tax avoidance or for subsequent operations, this transaction makes people feel uncomfortable.
