Los Angeles Lakers Receive: John Collins

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Kyle Kuzma, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2022 1st Round Pick

John Collins has been viewed as a franchise player for the Atlanta Hawks but the team has yet to get a long-term deal in place with him. The Los Angeles Lakers could field an intriguing trade package for Collins if the Hawks wanted to go that route.
