The Lakers attacked faster than the Clippers again: Jazz John Collins quoted with Hachimura + Kneckett

On June 20, the NBA Lakers revealed: The team management is actively discussing the deal with the Jazz about introducing forward player John Collins. The Lakers give away the trading weight to forward player Hachimura + young potential defender Knector. The management of the two sides is further communicating and negotiating, and the specific details have not been disclosed too much.

forward John Collins has a $26.5 million player option contract with the NBA Jazz in the 2025-2026 season. He performed very stably on both offense and defense. Unfortunately, the Jazz has completely lost the opportunity and hopes to use him to exchange for younger potential players or more draft picks in the future. Collins' technical characteristics are very suitable for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers, especially he can easily blend with Doncic or Harden.

John Collins played for the Jazz in the 2024-2025 season. He played a total of 40 games in the regular season, averaged 30.5 minutes per game, scored 19.0 points + 8.2 rebounds + 2.0 assists + 1.0 steals + 1.0 blocks, shooting percentage of 52.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 84.0%. Whether in terms of on-the-flying power, rebound protection, three-point shooting, etc., Collins is a supplementary force worth looking forward to by the Lakers!
