The Utah Jazz were involved in a three-team deal with the LA Clippers and Miami Heat, with the intended purpose of letting go of John Collins. The likelihood that they wanted to extend him was low, as Collins has been injury-prone and is essentially 28.
However, Collins was a primary reason why the Jazz were able to win 31 games. This is a significantly low win count, but the Wake Forest product averaged 19.0 points and 8.2 rebounds in 40 games.
It is not hard to believe that if Collins had not been there, or played fewer games with the injuries he was dealing with, Utah would have had the worst record in the league, and maybe even of all-time, competing with the Charlotte Hornets in 2012(7-59) and Philadelphia 76ers in 1973(9-73).
