NBA trade deadline Big Board: Myles Turner, John Collins top our list of targets

New York Times  

Editor’s note: Rui Hachimura was initially listed as No. — Leroux John Collins Seemingly perpetually on the block, the 25-year-old Collins should have a distinct place in the market because he is under contract for another two years with a player option for 2025-26, so if a team is interested in him at roughly $26 million per season, they have a talented power forward on a set contract. — Leroux Nikola Vučević The two-time All-Star would not shift the deadline as much as his higher-profile teammates, but Vucević’s pending unrestricted free agency also makes for a very different negotiation. Burks’ offensive potency, combined with a reasonable $10.5 million team option for next season, makes him a logical trade target for a variety of teams – if the Pistons decide not to keep him themselves. He’s about to turn 29 and is on a de facto expiring contract — he almost certainly won’t exercise his $22 million player option for next year, since he’ll get more money guaranteed over a longer term on the open market, even as he’s mired in one of the worst shooting slumps of his career.
