ESPN revealed that the reason for the Jazz traded Collins to the Clippers: The game was too efficient

On July 10, a well-known American sports media ESPN reporter revealed: The reason why the NBA Jazz chose to trade for the transaction and sent away John Collins was shocked, that is, he played too efficiently in the game. As long as he played, the Jazz basically had a chance to win, which affected the bad strategy formulated by the team's management.

It is reported that in order to prevent John Collins from playing, the NBA Jazz will fabricate various reasons for him before the game. There have been countless times. The team doctor and coaching staff have racked their brains for this, but they cannot affect his personal reputation issues to the outside world, resulting in damage to his trading market in the future. As long as John Collins can play this season, he will ensure that he has a winning rate of about 70% per game. In the end, the Jazz still chose to make a deal with the Clippers and Heat to send John Collins away. On the one hand, they continued to accelerate the team's reconstruction goal, and on the other hand, they allowed them to contribute to a more ideal team.

2024-2025 season John Collins played for the NBA Jazz. He played in 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, with a shooting percentage of 52.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84.0%. If he partnered with Harden and Leonard in the Clippers, then he would probably have better aggression and dominance on both offense and defense!
