Ok I think we all love Sharpe but if those two guys (or Luka, Jokic, Tatum) become available and they want Sharpe than you don't 'consider' trading him, you do it in a heartbeat if that is the difference maker in the deal.

So if the Blazers get the #1 overall pick you'd trade Simon's, Sharpe, Nurk, Little, Watford, #1 overall (Wemba), four future firsts unprotected, 3 unprotected pick swaps, all for Embiid?

I don't know Embiid Dame and attempted resigning Grant with a roster of scrubs could contend. Embiid and Dame have age and injury concerns long term. It would be a hell of a trio, but has a hell of a lot of risk.

I think you missed the point. Getting mad about trading Sharpe if that's actually in the Blazers' plans? Sure, that's what passionate fans do. Getting mad about even the possibility of trading Sharpe, when nobody is saying that's on the table? That's just wasted fan energy in my book.

This post is wasted fan energy.

We’re just reading different books is all. You are reading a non fiction book about the current Blazers, where as I am reading a non fiction book about the history of the Blazers and how they keep fucking up. Both great books, but different perspectives
 
It doesn't seem highly like that Sharpe gets traded, but there are certainly players you trade Sharpe for (if it's on the table). I know many fans like to make the young guys untradable, but if history were any indicator, it's more likely Sharpe will be the whipping boy of this board in 4-5 years whom "we should've traded while his value was highest".

I keep saying we should have traded you while your value was highest.... but nobody listened to me.
 
Imho, it's highly unlikely that the Blazers will be able to make a trade for a player that will turn things around for the franchise, even one that includes them trading Sharpe. And yes I understand that it's not a guarantee that he'll be something big, but the trade scenarios people dream up seem to not be based in any kind of reality.

Would have to be someone like Luka to warrant a trade for Sharpe.

Supposedly Luka is not happy in Dallas.

Even if we got the number one and packaged with whoever on our team not named Dame, I'm not sure if Luka/Dame is a good fit.

Luka would only make sense if they were trading Dame (and I am not advocating that).

I get what you are saying. We do tend to get worked up over things that will never happen.

The Blazers could trade the 6 pick and change for a top 15 PF.

That would make a huge difference, depending on how Shaed develops.

Then it's just building the bench and finding an upgrade (or very capable backup) for Nurk...

Yep, that pick and some could be the spring board for a legit star front line player. We have assets now to enter Dame Time!

IMO Getting angry at something you are passionate about is what being a fan is. It’s also just as real as getting mad about something at work, or at a car that cuts you off, or a bar being out of Lagavulin

That's not funny.

Do the Blazers even have the salaries to trade Shaedon Sharpe for someone like Bridges or Anunoby?
Seems like it would have to be multiple players from the Trail Blazers.

Nurk + Sharpe gets you to 23 mil on July 1. Enough salary to take on players making 18-27 mil give or take.

So not much of an issue.

Finding a replacement starting center is something we would have to address, however.

Are they stupid? I know Cronin has been giving players away, but that would never be enough to get Dame.

Trades not bad obviously we’d want more. Problem would be dealing with Ainge that guy is damn good with trades we’d get screwed. They have shitload of picks so definitely a team that makes sense.

I know Utah is one team Dames probably be ok with getting traded to.

Sure but I know you would agree that neither would make us better. Sharpe will be at their level after another year IMO. I love Bridges, but he was measured at 6'5" 1/4. I thought we wanted more length. I am being sarcastic here as I would take him as our SF in a heartbeat. I just don't think trading SS for him makes sense in the long run.

If the goal is a championship then we have to add a player who can take over a game offensively while being a decent defender. Anunoby is a 3&D wing IMO. Again I would love to have him next to Sharpe (and Dame) but not instead of him
 
Anybody but Dame and Sharpe. In a few years Shae will be completely dominant.

He'll be 24 and awesome and Dame will be 37 and making a billion dollars a year and we'll be lucky to get into the playoffs. :(

Having two untradable guys who are 13 years apart makes no sense.

Chris Paul had an 11 year age gap on Booker, Bridges and Johnson, and a 13 year age gap on Ayton, and that team managed to make the NBA Finals. Just because YOU can't conceive how it can or would need to be done doesn't mean it's impossible to happen just because Dame is older than other "star" on the roster.
