The Hawks have discussed numerous trade scenarios with numerous teams in recent weeks, but appear increasingly prepared to push a potential Collins trade into the offseason thanks at least partly to their 8-3 surge since trading Cam Reddish to New York.

Hawks push the lead back to 11 with 3:55 left against the Suns’ ultra-small lineup. Hard to trap Trae Young and still cover a vertical threat like John Collins like that. Still time, but that’ll probably do it – 9:36 PM

No Hawks were named Eastern Conference All-Star reserves. John Collins or Clint Capela would have to be named an injury replacement to make it. – 7:21 PM

One team contacted by Atlanta regarding Collins told Bleacher Report the Hawks were only seeking a valuable first-round pick and a starting-caliber player in exchange for the talented young forward. -via Bleacher Report / January 27, 2022
The Spurs and Mavericks have been considered Collins suitors dating back to the 2020 offseason. -via Bleacher Report / January 27, 2022
The 76ers and Hawks briefly kicked around a trade of Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris for John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari, league sources told HoopsHype. However, those talks stalled quickly, with Atlanta uninterested in Harris and unlikely to be able to flip him to a third team. -via HoopsHype / January 26, 2022
