San Antonio Spurs Receive: John Collins

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Rudy Gay, 2021 1st Round Pick (Top 5 Protected), 2023 1st Round Pick

The idea of pairing John Collins and Dejounte Murray is something that should have the San Antonio Spurs’ front office intrigued. Murray is the point guard of the future and Collins is an athletic forward with great promise moving forward. This is a good place for San Antonio to begin.

For the Atlanta Hawks, Young is their cornerstone player. They have made moves this offseason to add talent around him. This trade gives them another veteran player with postseason experience along with two future first-round picks.

Here is how the trade benefits each side moving forward— starting with the San Antonio Spurs’ perspective, followed by the Atlanta Hawks.
