Blazers Give Sharpe a Promise?

[speeds]

You can probably put a Raptors Jersey on him if that's the move because I think he'll be a Blazer for about 20 seconds

You're thinking this is the OG swap?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

My guess is we draft Sharpe, trade him and then regret it a lot within 2 years.

That would be my guess...

That's the Blazer way!

That's the kicker in the draft crap shoot. You might get Giannis or you might get Adam Morrison

Unfortunately, my pessimism is usually turned into reality. IE not getting the Pelican pick.

Here is the thing if this was a complete rebuild not sure he would be the right choice but IF the Blazers draft him they are not asking him to be a savior just a good solid player ALONG side of Dame and Co. -- this being the case then even if your not a fan of him he COULD do that just depends on his desire and skill etc.

I am not against HIM being the pick AS long as he is just a good piece to the team and NOT the next leader of the team.

 

[Stevenson]

I'm all about win-now too . . . except this kid seems like a very special player for some reason. Damn!

Anyone else catch the Haynes quote?

i didn't really hear anything out of the ordinary from the Haynes pod, but the lady who was on was super high on Sharpe and said Portland is a good spot for him because of the pedigree in developing young players

 

[illmatic99]

Sure looked like he was lol

remember RHJ? poor guy got traded 2 mins later.

My pessimism says he will be taken at 6. Then we don't get him or whoever we wanted to trade him for.
But I guess for many that is a good thing.

Oh man I forgot about that hahaha

Means Dyson Daniels would be available then.

What is the image? I can't see it on my end.

It was Sharpe in a Blazers uniform

 

[Hoopguru]

Might be a smart move as that would probably increase offers of other seasoned vets besides OG A.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

If he's as good as many project him out to be, of course he'll help Damian get closer to a ring. We'll have less ammo to trade for other positions but really the only glaring starting position is at PF.

I think we can do enough to fill that void.

PG - Dame/Ant
SG - Ant/Sharpe/Hart
SF - Little/Hart
PF - ?/ Winslow/Watford
C - Nurk/?

UK guards tend to be studs in the NBA, I know that’s not scientific but as of late most of them turn out good to great.

Blazers targeting Sharpe

[LayneStaley]

A future Ant/Sharpe backcourt could be so nice.

Can you really call him a UK guard?

 

[Driew]

Can you really call him a UK guard?

I mean he practiced with them at least lol.

 

[LayneStaley]

Can you really call him a UK guard?

I can say Cal recruited him and every other guard he has recruited in the past 6-7 years that went in the first round is a stud.

How do you know that we don’t use Ant to trade for OG or Grant?

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t. I’m saying it would be a nice backcourt not that it will be.

So the Blazers solution is to trade that risk for the certainty of mediocrity. Brilliant.

 

[Mediocre Man]

If Cronin does the unthinkable (the right thing) and drafts boom or bust Sharpe at 7 or moving up, I’ll never say a bad word about Joe

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Ant is a free agent, so he can be traded after the draft.

Well we know this isn't true.
