The Jazz nearly traded Collins back in February, but the deal fell through just before the deadline.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are looking into a potential trade involving Jonathan Kuminga and Collins to strengthen their scoring.
After a disappointing postseason, the Warriors want to reduce their heavy reliance on Stephen Curry for offense. Kuminga, a talented 22-year-old restricted free agent, could be a valuable trade asset.

At the same time, the Jazz seem open to offers for Collins, who has delivered strong scoring and rebounding numbers this past season.
Collins averaged 18.9 points and 8.2 rebounds with Utah, shooting an efficient 62.8% true shooting percentage. He also nailed 43.9% of his corner three-point attempts.
