The deal is expected to be finalized no earlier than July 6. This move marks another active offseason for the Utah Jazz, who made significant trades in the previous summer as well.

When asked by The Athletic's Sam Amick about his thoughts on the matter, Collins stated he does not have a preference and is not focused on things he cannot control. He mentioned the situation with Brooklyn Nets star, Kevin Durant, who had requested to be traded but ultimately stayed with the team as an example. Photo: Instagram/John Collins Collins had recently signed a five-year, $125 million contract with the Hawks before the 2021-22 season, making it difficult for them to find a team willing to take on his salary.
