For those interested, over the past few weeks I whipped up Suns trade scenarios for Kyle Kuzma (bit.ly/3TYDmb7),
as well as Harrison Barnes, John Collins and plenty more (bit.ly/3DYU5FU) – 12:25 PM

I do not know whether the Blazers are involved in any of these John Collins trade talks but I do know he was someone they talked pretty seriously about before the draft (along with OG Anunoby) so I would imagine it’s something they could revisit before the deadline. – 11:41 AM

Considering how tired I am of hearing about John Collins trade rumors, I can’t imagine how tired John Collins himself must be. – 11:14 AM

John Collins is good and it’s silly that the Hawks are continually shopping him. – 11:03 AM

More on this storyline

The Hawks have opened up preliminary trade discussions around forward John Collins, as interested teams inquire, league sources tell The Athletic. The Suns are a team showing desire in Collins, those sources have added, but they appear uninclined to take on the long-term money of Collins, who is in the second season of a five-year, $125 million contract. The Hawks don’t have an imminent deal in place involving Collins, those sources say, and executives around the league believe a potential deal will be weeks and potentially months in the making ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline. -via The Athletic / November 18, 2022
The Suns have a handful of first-rounders to move, but given the team’s impending ownership change, it’s also uncertain how many future assets the current regime can move. In addition, the Suns expressed interest in forwards such as Sacramento’s Harrison Barnes, Washington’s Kyle Kuzma and Houston’s KJ Martin, league sources have said. The Suns engaged in rookie extension negotiations with Cam Johnson prior to the regular season, with a final offer of four years in the range of $66 million, sources say. Phoenix refused to move higher toward the figure Johnson had desired. He is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery to remove part of his right meniscus. -via The Athletic / November 18, 2022
