Boston Celtics: 2 trade packages for C’s to land John Collins

An interesting bit of Boston Celtics scuttlebutt came courtesy of Celticsblog when Adam Taylor brought up the idea of John Collins being a potential trade target. His positional fit aside, it was an interesting breakdown of his game.

Essentially, Collins is a floor-spacing center who can draw his man out of the paint–a staple of Brad Stevens’ offense. Thing is, he may be best suited elsewhere than Atlanta because of their recent acquisition of Clint Capela.

There is no similar player to Capela in skillset or salary on the C’s. Daniel Theis is the top guy in the rotation, but he does not have the same aerial abilities as either Capela or Collins.
