Exclusive Would you have included Sharpe to get something done?

[Whyachi]

I voted for the unlisted option

• piss off, we're keeping Sharpe

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm saying what we got back.

and, what Portland got back is Hart, a 1st round pick, and the TPE used on Grant

The 1st was also used for Grant.

We traded Hart for a (1st) Murray

If Grant doesn't return, the only thing we have left to show for CJ is Murray and yes, some space.

and I think I made it clear I don't accept your long-term calculus.

Cronin quite obviously had a plan for that trade: get Hart as well as the pick and TPE to land Grant. No team is going to have the certainty they can keep a player when he becomes UFA. That's a fundamental risk of trades that all teams accept. That's obvious. Are you pining for the days of CJ back on the squad?

 

[julius]

Probably Pelicans fans.

NO was trying to walk all over Cronin again. Can't blame them after getting CJ for nothing. Would have been nice to get Zion in a fair deal, but glad Cronin didn't acquiesce and take a shit deal.

It's also some of the local morons on the airwaves here in Portland

No, I don't want CJ back. The playoffs yes.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I voted yes for the right player. And there are only two. Giannis and Joker.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

No, I don't want CJ back. The playoffs yes.

Why did NO draft CJ’s clone???

 

[Voodoo]

Any player for me.

I wouldn’t trade you for just any player, but I would at least want a second round pick back.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I voted yes for right player, and I'd add in some. Evan Mobley. Banchero or Chet for roster balancing, maybe. Maybe Halliburton plus sweetener (I really like his game and his small-town vibe). Frankly, I don't want Embiid and Giannis and Joker aren't going anywhere.

 

[Chris Craig]

Cause he has a one track mind.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

You mean thier GM?

 

[Strenuus]

I'm not worth anything.

 

[Hoopguru]

Not me, if it included the third pick. If Nets offered Bridges and Clax and we had to pkg Sharpe with Simons and others, yes I would.

To refuse this trade proposal is what it would take for Dame to ask out.
So nobody in here besides me would trade Shae and Simons for Bridges and Clax? wow
Dame, Scoot
Bridges, Grant
Clax and whoever?

 

[Tince]

I would have traded #3+Sharpe in a package for the next tier up of player (Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, Luka, etc)

Sharpe for Brown straight up I would consider. Sharpe probably has a higher ceiling, but Brown has a much lower floor, and is ready to contribute at a high level now.

They want Simons + for salary.

 

[Tince]

Correct. Part of the problem is it's near impossible to match salary without adding a lot more talent to Sharpe.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fuck no
