Atlanta Hawks Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, G/F Max Struss, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: F/C John Collins

In all likelihood, Atlanta Hawks fans will read this return and feel confused, if not outright disappointed.

After all, they just parted with draft capital in the Dejounte Murray deal. That should have signaled an intention to commit to win-now mode. Isn’t this trade a half-measure?

Arguably, yes. On the other hand, there isn’t another realistic avenue towards dealing Collins to the Heat. It’s safe to assume they’d have no interest in parting with Tyler Herro. We can also assume that the Hawks won’t have an interest in Kyle Lowry.

Of course, the Hawks don’t have to trade Collins to the Heat at all. That much is obvious. Nonetheless, a deeper dive suggests that this deal can be justified.
