John Collins is no longer a part of the Atlanta Hawks’ future.

The 25-year-old forward was traded to the Utah Jazz on Monday for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick, freeing up salary space for Atlanta in the form of a $25.3 million trade exception as the Hawks hope to retool, per ESPN.

The team will enter “deal-making mode” this offseason, and general manager Landry Fields will have the option to move into the luxury tax, ESPN further reported.

Collins, who is still owed $78 million of a $125 million deal, is under contract for three more years.

The 6-foot-9 forward, who has averaged 15.8 points and 8.0 rebounds over his six-year career, was once thought of as a critical component to Atlanta’s future alongside Trae Young, particularly when he averaged 21.6 points at 22 in the 2019-20 season.

But the Hawks, who finished 41-41 and lost in the first round of the playoffs last season, are opting to take a different route.

Collins, who has been dangled in trade talks for over a year, is coming off a season in which he averaged 13.1 points, his lowest since his rookie campaign.

His absence will allow the Hawks to try out different frontcourt pairings with Young, providing more runway for Onyeka Okongwu, Clint Capela, and Jalen Johnson.

Utah, who surprised some by flirting with the play-in tournament after trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert last offseason, will try to integrate Collins into a promising young core.

The Jazz were led last year by a breakout campaign from Lauri Markkanen, who averaged 25.6 points, and were buoyed by a sparkling rookie season from center Walker Kessler, who blocked 2.3 shots per game and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting.

Gay, a 17-year veteran who is joining his sixth team, opted into a $6.4 million player option for next season, which helped pave the way for the trade.
