Los Angeles Lakers Receive: John Collins, Kris Dunn

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Montrezl Harrell, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2026 1st Round Pick, 2023 2nd Round Pick

John Collins would bring a new dynamic to the Los Angeles Lakers’ attack and he would not be alone. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis to have to account for, opposing teams would have a lot to account for in the paint while all three can step out and convert from deep.

Kris Dunn was one of the free agent signings for the Atlanta Hawks but has been unable to return from ankle surgery to this point. He is another weapon that would bring depth to Los Angeles if he is able to return soon.

In return, Montrezl Harrell would go to the Hawks and be a replacement for Collins right away. He has been an effective bench piece for the Lakers. This is something he has been throughout his career. Talen Horton-Tucker along with two draft picks, would also be going to Atlanta.

Let’s take a look and see how this trade centered around John Collins would benefit both the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers.
