The Charlotte Hornets were simply happy it wasn’t them as they snapped a seven-game losing streak and held onto a 111-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Charlotte (24-28) had not won since a Jan. 21 triumph over Brooklyn. The Nets (9-43) dropped their 10th straight, and still have not won since a Jan. 20 victory at New Orleans.
The trade market for Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins continues to swirl. The Washington Wizards, Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers all have registered vary degrees of interest in trading for Collins.
Recently, the Hawks gave Collins representatives to seek a deal on their own. Atlanta is currently in a front office transition, as Travis Schlenk stepped aside from leading the basketball operations. Landry Fields was promoted to general manager, and Kyle Korver was elevated to assistant GM.
Collins’ production has dipped this season, as he’s often the Hawks third to fifth option on many nights. The sixth-year big man is taking just 10.3 field goal attempts per game, which is his lowest figure since his rookie season. Without consistent touches, Collins’ field goal percentage has fallen under 50% (49.6%) for the first time in his career, including a career-low 23.6% on three-pointers.
Members of the New York Knicks front office believe they have enough assets to trade for a “significant player” even after acquiring OG Anunoby, according to Ian Begley of SNY.
The Knicks currently have up to eight tradeable first-round picks, including four of their own.
The team also has several trade-eligible players, including Evan Fournier and his $18 million expiring contract (Josh Hart and Miles McBride cannot be traded prior to the 2024 trade deadline).
Shams Charania added that the Knicks will always have interest in Karl-Anthony Towns, though Begley notes that a deal is unlikely considering the Timberwolves’ success this year.
