If the forward general chooses to execute the player option, will the Jazz consider trading him out?

Yahoo Sports reporter Evan Sidery published an article in which he also updated the trading trends of Utah Jazz forward star John Collins in the trading market this summer.

Sidery said: Once Collins chooses to execute the $26.58 million player option in the contract next season this summer, the Jazz will explore trading options related to him in the trading market. Sidery also wrote: In fact, the Jazz almost traded Collins in February this year, but their operations before the trading deadline ultimately failed, and Collins still had to stay in the team. Collins signed a five-year contract with his old boss Atlanta Hawks in 2021, with a total amount of $125 million, and was sent to the Jazz by the Hawks in July 2023. His share has the last year left, including $26.58 million in player options.

In the NBA regular season this season, Collins played a total of 40 games, averaging 30.5 minutes per game, averaging 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 84.8%. In fact, Collins' overall performance this season is quite good. He has also shown quite good scoring ability. He also has rich offensive methods. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage can also be maintained at a high level. Not only that, Collins also has certain passing ability and support ability, and he can also use his advantages in athletic ability to create some threats on the defensive end. Collins is actually a player with very good comprehensive abilities, but because his ability is not in line with the team's "showing bad" policy in the second half of the season, this should be an important factor that he did not continue to play after March 12.

We actually really can't understand what the jazz uniform team wants to do. If they choose to trade Collins in the mid-season, such a choice should help them get more future chips. As a result, they not only did not send him away, but also hid him, which directly led to the decline in his market. Now they don't even know whether Collins will have the option of this player, but they plan to really trade him out in this situation, which even sounds a bit funny. The Jazz have been hesitating about the two things of playing badly and playing seriously in the past few seasons. This not only leads to the team's low draft pick ranking, but the level and quality of the rookies are relatively average, but also leads to the team's record being less than ideal. If you want to rebuild, you should rebuild it well. If you want to record, you should play well. You should both need it. In the end, you will pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.
