Miami Heat Rumors: 3 Reasons Why John Collins Isn’t The Right Target

Miami Heat fans everywhere have been clamoring and slobbering over the potential of landing the subject of this foray. John Collins, of the Atlanta Hawks and a guy that played his highschool ball near the South Florida area, is set to become a free agent and the rumors are heating up.

While it may have just been fodder or a pipedream for so long and throughout the regular season, things may be closer to becoming a reality than most might have actually expected. Here is the report of interest, per Shams Charania of The Athletic (Subscription Required).

"Across the league, many believe Hawks forward/center John Collins increased his value as a maximum contract-caliber player during Atlanta’s run to the Eastern Conference finals. In 18 postseason games, Collins averaged 13.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 35.7 percent 3-point shooting. Dallas, Miami, San Antonio and Minnesota are among the teams expected to show interest in Collins, believing he could be attainable as a restricted free agent, sources said. Hawks owner Tony Ressler said after the season that he hoped the team reached a “fair agreement” with Collins. Will the sides find that threshold?"

Interesting, very interesting, indeed. The Miami Heat might be in the list of teams looking to acquire the electric big man.

However, that doesn’t mean that they should. Here are three reasons why he shouldn’t be a target for them.
