He’s elite getting to the rim and finishing and 6’6 215lbs 7’2 wingspan and rare speed, athleticism and strength combo and can shoot, pass and defend that’s a complete player and his archetype usually has the highest ceiling.

Why would they offer Sharpe who is clearly proven to be a young budding star with tremendous upside and this years top 5 draft plus fillers? Thats more than they were willing to part with last year. There's no way they do that trade. I don't even think they would make a straight across trade - Sharpe for OG. I know I wouldn't. Maybe for Siakam. Sharpe has too much potential.

@@giovanni-ed7zq I don't disagree that Portland will have to rely on trades more than most teams as it's not the most desired free agent destination. But that Trade isn't remotely favorable for Portland. It's too much and OG doesn't move the needle enough to get rid of 2 lottery prospects. Plus Sharpe is highly favored in the organization. It would take a much better player to pry him away from the Blazers than O.G.

His leaps are breathtaking. The one at 7:57 is a good example. What a talent! Best wishes to this young man. I wonder if they will make him a 2-guard and start alongside Lillard. That is a scary prospect.

[@grandverbalizer]

He is a 2 guard. Blazers best move now is to make him a starter and shift Simons back to the bench (or trade..). Simons is a talented point guard, but his ceiling playing alongside Lillard as a 1+2 punch is nothing comparable to Sharpe's.

[@Bronny00]

Sharpe gonna be a problem next year I promise

[@adricprigodich3751]

With Portland as my hometown team, Sharpe is very exciting. Even if the Blazers don't get Victor, they still get a lottery pick and can trade Simons and Nurkic possibly for Embiid or someone like Bam and 1st round pick. They have a lot of good options especially for the short term remainder of the Dame era. The frustrating part is the front office that keeps making bad calls. They can still just as easily spiral out of control and possibly lose Lillard. Hoping for the best.
