Definitely unfortunate fate for Zach Collins who in the last year suffered a stress fracture in his foot and was a victim ofyet another relapse just some time ago. The player has recently been operated on and should stay out for 4-6 months, which means he will miss the start of the season. Something that Portland has carefully considered, deciding not to use $ 7 million qualifying offer and make it a restricted free agent. This means that Collins will be from tomorrow unrestricted free agent.
Despite his health problems, Bleacher Report reports interest from at least 4 franchises. It is said that Thunder, Spurs, Raptors e Pelicans are ready to try, but it remains to be understood which offers will arrive on the player’s table. We will likely be talking about short-term or low-paying deals for Collins himself, looking for an opportunity to demonstrate that he can still have an important role in the league.
You just need to trust him.
Portland isn’t extending the $7M qualifying offer to Zach Collins, officially making him a free agent, source tells ESPN.
