Admin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Geez some of you are so intent on hating on the ASG that you can't appreciate what is at the very least a decent move. Just because Woody chose to ignore his bench and use Collins doesn't mean that he can't help this team. And like it or not there aren't many bigs available to sign that are better than him. I pray that this isn't the only move we'll make towards having some size next year and this is far from exciting, but I like hearing that we re-signed him a lot more than I'd like hearing he signed with someone else. Plus Collins will give Shaq someone to bang with in practice next year :angel19: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins may be the best Big left besides Shaq so this actually is a decent move to get him plus he honestly probably could have helped horford and smoove lastyear on the rebounding but like you said he didnt get any minutes cause of woody! Im glad we got him back personally! I mean just cause we got him doesnt mean we have to stop here! ASG needs to get shaq too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't rebound, defend, score, pass, shoot ft's and he can't even run the floor. What CAN he do? I mean, even Preist Lauderdale and Greg Anderson were better than Jason Collins. The last time he contributd to a team in the slightest bit was 2004: http://www.nba.com/playerfile/jason_collins/career_stats.html Edited July 19, 2010 by Hotlanta1981 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 honestly probably could have helped horford and smoove lastyear on the rebounding but like you said he didnt get any minutes cause of woody! Collins is a terrible rebounder, and you can't really blame Woody for not playing a guy who was not in shape. Sund should confirm that Collins is in shape, before he offers him a contract.

Randy Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Rest easy tonight, friends. Our long national nightmare is over. I fear it is Dwight Howard and Orlando that can rest easy tonight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 The ASG and Sund should be ashamed of themselves, if they bring that dude back here. Sund thinks he's smarter than everybody else, and can find "diamonds in the rough". Collins is more like a penny in the mud though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time he contributd to a team in the slightest bit was 2004: http://www.nba.com/playerfile/jason_collins/career_stats.html I don't agree with Hotlanta much, but we definitely agree on this. Jason Collins is one of the most useless players in the NBA. He had a PER at center last year of 0.95 LOL . . how do you have LESS than a 1 PER? That's almost impossible to do. That means that you're doing almost nothing on the court. He's not even rebounding. And people expected Woody to pay that scrub more? I would bet that all of those 2nd round scrub centers that we passed up, are all better than Collins. http://www.hoopdata.com/player.aspx?name=Jason%20Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzachary Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I would bet that all of those 2nd round scrub centers that we passed up, are all better than Collins. They would be better, have more potential, and cost much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted July 19, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I can't believe they would bring the guy back. Can anyone name a more out of shape player to ever play in the NBA? Oliver Miller in his fat days maybe? :thumbsdownsmileyanim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suiluap Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 At least in my opinion Collins better than Morris. I remember last game in 09/10 season vs. Cavs then Jason played 15+ minutes ant scored 12 points (if I remember well) and 8 or 10 points were scored by jumshoots from 15ft and 18ft. And remember, Larry Drew is not the Mikki Woodson, he's different coach. Drew>Woody Woody=Mike Brown=worst ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudBall Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is absolute embarrassing...We are the only team in the NBA that hasn't brought in a new player excluding draft picks.Wow just wow sometimes i just wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted July 19, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/atlanta-hawks-are-poised-to-win-the-jason-collins-sweepstakes.php Jason and Jarron Collins are truly perplexing NBA players. They dig up roster spots, year after year, despite being essentially useless on a basketball court. They have no post game (they seem to have enough trouble just catching and finishing). They're very poor rebounders. They don't stand out defensively. They're just two seven-footers and high-character teammates, which seems to be enough to earn a yearly NBA salary. They don't catch your eye on the court, they don't show up in the box score, and they aren't favorites of advanced stats. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
