Despite the lack of splashy additions, the Atlanta Hawks have had a very busy offseason. But it could have unfolded much differently had one of their offers for star forward Pascal Siakam been accepted by the Toronto Raptors.
“Before when there was talks going on, John Collins was a part of some of those talks,” said Bleacher Report and Turner Sports NBA insider Chris Haynes on the ‘#thisleague UNCUT’ podcast on July 21. “He’s since been traded. Does Atlanta have anything Toronto would want at this stage?”
Collins has been one of the most hypothetically traded players in recent memory, having been mired in rumors for the better part of the last three seasons.
