He could play with one of his best comps in Bruce Brown and who better to receive his passes than KD.

“It’s understandable if that upsets some fans. Collins is a talented player capable of putting up 20 and 10 any night. He’s a standup guy and is well liked by teammates. But trading him seems unavoidable for two reasons: 1. Team president Travis Schlenk and owner Tony Ressler have acknowledged they erred by effectively standing pat after the team’s run to the Eastern Conference finals; 2. If the Hawks desire to change their look and acquire a player of value, they have only two on the roster who realistically have that kind of trade value.
One is Young, who’s not going anywhere. The other is Collins, who logically is going somewhere.
Collins has not asked to be traded, but at this point it would be understandable if he would welcome an exit. He has been a walking trade rumor for two years. There were reports Thursday that Atlanta has discussed dealing him to San Antonio for All-Star guard Dejounte Murray, a deal that would give Atlanta an explosive backcourt. Murray has two years left on his contract so that trade could be made at any time, but the Hawks presumably wanted to get through the draft and take time to weigh their options.”
