With rumblings surrounding the availability of Atlanta Hawks big man John Collins, BasketballNews.com’s Evan Sidery and Nekias Duncan teamed up to come up with possible destinations prior to the NBA’s Feb. 10 trade deadline.

John Collins is growing increasingly frustrated with his role. Carrying his lowest usage rate since his rookie campaign in 2017-18, Collins feels he’s more than deserving of being a more featured piece within the Hawks’ offense. Even with Collins still only holding a 19.9 USG%, he’s averaging an impressive stat line of 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 blocks at an above-average efficiency clip.
