1 for 3! Influences the Jazz to play badly! Collins is traded to the Clippers

On July 10, ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon talked about the Clippers new player John Collins: "He was too efficient last season. Although the Jazz won few games, he was in 70% of the games he won. The Jazz could only fabricate various reasons for injury and limited Collins to play only 40 games. Because the impact was bad, the Jazz had to send him away!" The number

is not an exaggeration. The Jazz only won 17 games last season, and Collins had 12 of them. When Collins played, the Jazz won 12 and lost 28. When Collins truces, the Jazz have only 5 wins and 37 losses. Although the winning rate is very low, Collins did double the Jazz's winning rate. Collins averaged averaging -0.4, the Jazz ranked first in the game.

On July 8 this year, the Jazz, the Clippers and the Heat reached a three-party deal: the Jazz gave away Collins, and the 1-for-3 deal was obtained by Love, Li Keel and 1 second round pick. The Heat got Norman Powell and the Clippers got John Collins. The Clippers are equivalent to using Powell + 1 second round pick, and 2 for 1 trade to get Collins. Jazz

did not intend to keep Love, and will buy it out next. The Jazz is equivalent to using Collins for Li Kaile and a second round pick. At first, many people couldn't understand what the jazz picture was? 1. In order to continue to play badly; 2. Collins' annual salary next season is $26.58 million, Li Kyle and Love combined to $14 million, and the Jazz can save a lot of money!

John Collins was born on September 23, 1997, with a height of 2.06 meters and a wingspan of 2.11 meters. In the 2017 NBA Draft, Collins was selected by the Hawks with the 11th pick in the first round. In the summer of 2021, the Eagles renewed their contract with Collins for $125 million in five years. In the summer of 2023, the Hawks exchanged Corinth for Rudy Guy and a second round pick. In the 2024-25 season, Collins played 40 regular season games with the Jazz, including 31 starts. He averaged 30.5 minutes per game, scored 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and his three shooting percentages were: 52.7%, 39.9%, and 84.8%. In addition to Collins, the Clippers also signed Lopez with 18 million in two years and renewed Batum with 11.5 million in two years and 11.5 million in two years.

Clippers are still waiting for the Suns to buy out Bills. If Bills can join, how far do you think the Clippers can go next season?
