Marilyn Dubinski: I think if the Spurs were truly interested in Collins, they would have made a move with the many previous chances they’ve had. He was tied to them while was still on his rookie contract and they were in much more need of a power forward, and they didn’t acquire him. They didn’t chase him as a restricted free agent (at least not desperately), and if they really wanted a playable part in return for Dejounte Murray, they could have demanded Collins then, but they didn’t. At this point, I imagine the Spurs would rather keep developing Jeremy Sochan at power forward and hedge their bets on lucking into Victor Wembanyama or another forward in what will be a deep draft.
NBA Trade rumors heat up, but the Spurs should stay patient
