I dont think they would do it.
They supposedly really like Collins (he has played pretty darn solidly at times).
This seems like classic bloggers trade ideas (not trying to sound mean)...but you have taken basically two starters from one team, given them two young players from our team who cant crack the rotation and then just suggest they will do it to save money. I dont think they would be interested.
Starters? I know Collins has been decent, and I agree that they might hesitate to give him up, but Skinner is just depth for them...especially if Kaman comes back healthy. He is the type of useful big man, who can often be obtained for a second rounder and cash.
Both are place holders. One for Baron. One for the guy who is replacing Kaman,
again, so that means they are starters. they have both started a fair number of games.
Meh, there's nothing more boring than an argument about semantics. Technically, Scal's a starter, too (at least until last night). When their (bad) team is healthy, Collins and Skinner are getting slivers in their hindquarters, that's the relevant piece of information.
collins isnt exactly a garbage player. since starting 8 games ago, he has scored in double figures every game but one. 17,16,15,15,15,12,4,14. rebounds, 6,5,4,3,3,6,4,3. Assists, 3,3,6,7,8,11,8,5. Steals, 3,1,1,3,3,4,1.
Those are good numbers.
