Dallas Mavericks reportedly to host John Collins in free agency

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly set to host John Collins in free agency, per Shams Charania.

Collins, a 25-year-old forward, is one of the most sought-after free agents on the market. He averaged 21.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game for the Atlanta Hawks last season.

The Mavericks are in need of a starting power forward, and Collins would be a perfect fit. He is a versatile player who can score, rebound, and defend. He would also be a good fit alongside Luka Dončić.

The Mavericks are not the only team interested in Collins. The Miami Heat, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers have also been linked to him.

However, the Mavericks may have the inside track on Collins. They have a good relationship with his agent, and they can offer him a starting role.

If the Mavericks are able to sign Collins, it would be a major coup. He would be a significant upgrade over their current starting power forward, Dwight Powell.

The Mavericks would be a playoff contender with Collins in the lineup. They would have a young and talented core led by Dončić, Collins, and Kristaps Porzingis.
