Atlanta Hawks fans have been getting bombarded the past few weeks with rumors about John Collins who is set to be an unrestricted free agent. That continued on Tuesday when Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the market for Collins is expected to be robust, including teams like the Dallas Mavericks and division-rival Miami Heat.
This could put the Hawks in a bind. They’ve been vocal about wanting to retain his services. But the powers that be have also been clear they won’t go above what they view as a fair value.
