  1. Would rather throw both of my kidneys into the black market, than throw sharpe as filler into any trade. He’s him 🦍

  2. whatever we have to do to win, I'd rather keep Anfernee Simons than Sharpe but it comes down to who has the most value that can maximize a big trade deal, probably will have to be Anfernee because of the salary aspect though.

  3. The rumors are wild lol yeah let's trade 2 potential superstars let alone Allstars and a potential allstar so 3 potential stars for 1 dude lol

  4. I wouldn’t trade Shaedon for either Bridges or Brown straight up… and I bet neither would Cronin.

  5. not untouchable completely but pretty close to being untouchable. like you only trade shaedon for an MVP caliber player.

  6. Simons averaged 27 points in games Dame didn't play in and he's 22.I wouldn't be interested in trading him.The 3rd pick is plenty for all these non Allstars we're talking about.

  7. Shaedon could contribute way faster than we think. Probably be one of our better players by the end of this season……

  8. Trading Sharpe could be a massive mistake. Even though we don't know for certain that he could be what we hope he is, he clearly has potential coming out of his ears. Almost no trade involving Sharpe would be worth entertaining.

    That's not to say he's a guaranteed superstar, but he's definitely not just a "potential" kinda guy.

  9. If its not Giannis or Embied or idk KD someone of that level, Id ALMOST rather see Dame go than Sharpe. If we dont get a Superstar/mvp tier player, we're not winning a championship with Dame. 5-7 years whatever Dame has left Sharpe and Ant can take over and hopefully build a good young core around them and win in 2030…. Sigh

  10. I'm glad you bring this up. It's also driving me crazy to hear throwing in Shaedon Sharp, Ant, and 3rd pick to trade for Mikel or Brown. I am like WTF?

  11. Sharpe for Ricki Rubio and Robin Lopez? They can apply Ben Gay on each other during games.

  12. I'd trade Dame first which they should consider. With the new CBA the Blazers are in prime position. Screw stars!! We have friendly contracts with Ant, Nurk and everyone except for Dame. We could get Robinson out of NY for Nurk and picks. Then we just need one more reliable guy for a few scrubs. Say we get Hardaway Jr and Finney Smith for Ant and the 23rd pick or Knox, Reddish or Walker.

  13. If the Blazers get Siakam and re-sign Grant, who do you play in the putative starting line-up (Dame-Grant-Siakam-Nurk): Do you start Sharpe or Thybulle? I kinda like Sharpe as 6th man in his second season…

  14. I agree sharpe is a great young asset. And that’s why if I was another team I would push hard for him. Do you blame them.

    And since we all like sharpe so much. Can’t we all just come to the conclusion that we should just trade dame already and reset.

    Giannis ain’t going anywhere
    Embiid ain’t.
    Heck it looks like Jaylen ain’t either.

    So it literally makes zero sense to use any young assets to get an older player who really doesn’t move the needle.

    Trade dame. Get your haul of picks and one solid young player. If you do it right you’ll be be in the mix in 2-3 years.

    Heck maybe even consider making a deal with OKC. Try to pluck some of their young talent and a few picks.

    Get giddey Williams and a few picks for dame. Bet on your young core and your ability to draft. Bet on okc to fizzle out if dame gets old and Chet proves to be brittle or just not super good

    Portland going forward could have Williams giddey scoot/ Miller sharpe Simons.

    That’s incredible already. Then swing a deal to get Ayton and another asset for nurkic and grant in sign and trade

    Who knows if that team is a real playoff contender next year… but it’s set up to succeed long term. If they develop super fast then great. If they miss the playoff just add 2 more first round talents to your roster next year or use them to acquire a specific player who fits a need and their timeline.

  15. I think another big reason for the blazers being so willing to move on from Simons is because he was a bottom ten defender in the league this year. I think that also makes it so much harder to trade Simons despite him being such a promising young player

  16. Trade Dame man. Lets be serious. A Contender won't be built in 2 years. Trade Dame and get as much as we can get. Keep the 3rd pick and build. We will be b better off and a contender quicker if we trade Dame.

  17. Sharpe in the wave of the fiuture. All this loyalty crap is the reason we are in the position we are in now. This is a business, ACT LIKE IT IF YOU WANT TO WIN. SMDH

  18. That’s my whole idea, is that we can do a package around Ant to get someone & a package around the 3rd pick as well

  19. That would be the stupidest thing this team could ever do. And they have done some really stupid stuff in the past.
