His caphold for next season is $12 million, which would put us right at the expected salary cap of $112 millon. What the Hawks do have, are contracts of players on reasonable deals, young players on rookie deals and picks to offer for Giannis. Giannis will be a free agent. He wants to go to a team to win a chip. We are over the cap, but barely. A better strategy is doing what the nets did. Package Contracts with a 1st or an asset to clear cap space. Knicks have 71 mil in cap space next year and aren't gonna entice a superstar. Package either Huerter or our 1st with Capela for a protected 2nd and cash considerations. Then package a future 1st with Gallo to another team. That clears 37.5 Mil( plus huerter's contract if traded). That will give us the room to get Giannis under the cap, then sign Collins over the cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two things: 1. Collins saying that he thinks he is worth a max that the Hawks might not be willing to offer have the buzzards circling. 2. Most people who don't follow the Hawks thinks he's a full time Center. So once we traded for Capela they jumped to the 'Hawks don't want him narrative'...when he's a PF that can play some center.

GEORGIAfan 18,079 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Max is 27 mil starting with 5% raises. Maybe an overpay initially, but with continued improvement, I say it is worth a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can offer up to 8%, but he is an RFA and we don't seem inclined to offer more than he can get on the market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
