On the Jazz side of the trade, they are bringing Collins in via cap space, so they need to delay until the year flips to have that cap space.

The Hawks will then create the league’s currently largest TPE of $25,340,000 for the full value of Collins’ outgoing salary. That increase will allow Atlanta to bring Gay in via the Holiday TPE. But in the new CBA, the little bit of extra matching in a trade increases from $100,000 to $250,000. Under the current CBA (which expires when the calendar flips to July 1), the Holiday TPE wouldn’t have been big enough to absorb Gay’s salary. Here’s where it gets fun! That Holiday TPE is $6,292,400. But to maximize the amount of the Traded Player Exception (TPE) they can create, the Hawks will take Gay into their existing TPE for Justin Holiday. Atlanta is sending out John Collins and his $25,340,000 salary, so they could have easily absorbed Rudy Gay’s $6,479,000 salary in the deal.

There’s two parts to that and both are equally fascinating. This trade is another one that will have to take place after the league year changes over. And that’s what drove this trade, more than anything Atlanta got back in terms of the player and the pick. Not exactly an overwhelming return for Atlanta, until the Hawks get to look at a significantly cleaner, and cheaper, future cap sheet. After years (without even a hint of exaggeration) of rumors, Atlanta found a trade partner for Collins and the $78.5 million in remaining salary on his contract.Ĭollins will head to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Rudy Gay and a second-round draft pick. It finally happened! The Atlanta Hawks traded John Collins.
