NBA Trade Rumors: Other teams ’enamored’ by John Collins’ performances for Atlanta Hawks
A hyperathletic performer in his own right, John Collins played the role of Trae Young’s partner in crime to perfection last season. But considering the pieces that the Atlanta Hawks have picked up in the offseason, they aren’t left with too much cap space to offer Collins the best possible deal.

NBA Trade Rumors: Will John Collins get the desired extension from Atlanta Hawks?
John Collins has been an incredible building block for the Atlanta Hawks thus far. He’s rather committed to the organization too, with little chatter of him being interested in a move away. Looking at the financial side though, things get a little complicated.
Collins has publicly stated that he believes he’s worthy of a max contract. But at the end of the day, it’s GM Travis Schlenk whose opinion matters the most on this topic.
