亚特兰大老鹰队大前锋约翰·柯林斯正在慢慢恢复上赛季的状态。在他们2月10日与达拉斯小牛的决战中，科林斯以72.2%的投篮命中率获得了33分，同时也成功地填满了他的数据表。整个赛季，他场均得到18.5分，7.8个篮板和一次盖帽。
尽管他的状态不错，但据《体育报》的萨姆·阿米克说，老鹰队愿意听取柯林斯的报价。他目前的表现可能太好了，以至于亚特兰大不会把他交易出去，即使这个交易涉及到一个优秀的球员和未来的资产，比如选秀权。
科林斯今年夏天是一名自由球员，他认为自己是一名马克斯球员，而老鹰队却不这么认为。尽管如此，他们现在需要他这一事实可能会在季后赛的推进过程中胜出，而不是在休赛期。
尽管选秀需要大量的球探，但选秀只是猜测，远不像柯林斯那样确定。他是老鹰队重返季后赛的关键。球队最后一次进军季后赛是在2016-17赛季，他们在第一轮就被淘汰出局。
在即将到来的休赛期，科林斯将成为一名受限制的自由球员。柯林斯拒绝了鹰队9000万美元的续约，据称他希望得到一份最高或接近最高的合同。曾经有球员赌自己成功的例子，但也有球员错过了数百万美元的大发薪日搜索的例子。
虽然科林斯是一名有前途的球员，而且只有23岁，但至少可以说，寻找这样一份大合同是一个大胆的举动，尤其是对于一名甚至还没有被评为全明星的球员来说。柯林斯是本赛季亚特兰大和追求者队最有趣的决定点之一。

Rumor: Hawks continue to ‘listen to offers’ for John Collins
原文：
Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins is slowly regaining his form last season. In their Feb. 10 showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, Collins erupted for 33 points on 72.2 percent shooting from the field while managing to fill up his stat sheet. This whole season, he has been averaging 18.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and a block.
Despite his form, according to Sam Amick in The Athletic, say the Hawks are open to listening to offers for Collins’ services. His current production might be too good that Atlanta does not trade him away even if the package involves a quality player and future assets, such as draft picks.
Collins, who is a restricted free agent this summer, sees himself as a max player and the Hawks donât. Still, the fact that they need him right now could win out during their push for the playoffs before the process plays out in the offseason.
Despite the amount of scouting that goes into a draft selection, the pick is a guess and far from a sure thing like Collins. He is essential in the Hawks’ attempt to return to the postseason. The team’s last foray into the playoffs was in the 2016-17 season, where they were knocked off in the first round.
This coming offseason, Collins will be a restricted free agent. Collins rejected a $90 million contract extension from the Hawks and is allegedly wanting a max or near-max contract. There have been instances of players betting on themselves and succeeding, but there are also instances of players missing out on millions of dollars in search of that big payday.
While Collins is a promising player and is only 23 years old, looking for such a big contract is a bold move, to say the least, especially for a player who has not even been named an All-Star. Collins is one of the more interesting decision points this season for Atlanta and suitor teams.
