Jazz acquire John Collins in trade with Hawks

The Utah Jazz are acquiring John Collins from the Atlanta Hawks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer also had reported the deal was in the works.

Going back to the Hawks will be Rudy Gay and a second-round pick.

The return might seem light given that the 25-year-old Collins has been a building block for the Hawks since they drafted him in 2017, but the trade will allow them to move on from a contract that has them owing him $78 million over the next three seasons.
