John Collins trade: Hawks send PF to Jazz, per reports

The Atlanta Hawks are trading PF John Collins to the Utah Jazz, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Jazz will receive Collins, who is set to make $78 million over the next three seasons. Utah will send SF Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick to the Hawks as part of the deal, per Woj. Atlanta is basically dumping the salary of a borderline All-Star to gain cap flexibility to build for the future around PG Trae Young.
