Good or bad move?

 

Would he get this opportunity if he hadn't come out? Is it possible to know or is that an unfair hypothetical?

 

Is it ironic that the team associated with Jay Z and owned by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov is the one doing this? I say this because you can point to some lyrics that Jay Z has which, taken in isolation at least, might be considered homophobic; I say Prokhorov because he still lives in Russia and has an eye towards politics.

Jay Z has zero affiliation with the Nets these days. He doesn't have a contract because he's not very good.

 

Completely forgot about him being a sports agent now. That was a lapse.

 

Still, given Prokohorv's political career in Russia, I wonder how this is being received?

Depends on who is pitching.

The NBA is always looking for a serviceable big man. Unfortunately for Collins his game resembles Michael Olowokandi. Meaning he sucks.

 

I wouldn't say he "sucks". He's a superb ball-handler for a big man. He can attack the rim, and when he does, he finishes strong. At the same time, he might be prone to struggling to defend the rim against penetration. Still don't know if he'll always show good awareness when it comes to the double team, I could see a guy like the Heat's Chris Bosh really giving him problems by running doubles at him all night.

All seriousness, from what I've read, Jason Kidd is a fan of Collins from their days playing together, he's a solid defender and can bring some things to the table that might help them win. The Nets have a veteran locker room and won't be distracted by the signing. I fully expect him to be signed.
