Summary
John Collins, a versatile big man averaging 15 points and 8 rebounds with a solid 40% three-point shot, is hitting free agency after a lucrative five-year, $125M deal. Minnesota is reportedly interested, but their salary cap crunch—especially after trading for LaMelo Ball—means they can only offer around $6M, a steep pay cut compared to teams like the Spurs, Sixers, and Magic. With limited trade assets and no willingness to move key expiring contracts, the Wolves’ chances of landing Collins look slim unless they pull off a major move.
