    Contributing off the bench shouldn't take years.

    I would like Randle if we had a more athletic 5 but not with Nurk and not displacing another 4 to play the 3. If we were going away from Nurk then I think if the Knicks are getting Ant... even in a S&T they would have to send us draft picks. They don't love Randle's contract after the way Randle was trending last season and I think everyone in the league likes the way Ant is trending.

    Yeah I get it. Probably just a head coach pumping up one of his players. But Cal is not the first to say this.

    John Calipari said had Shaedon Sharpe chosen to play college ball next season, he would have been the 2023 No. 1 overall pick. Cal has coached four No. 1 selections, so he may know of what he speaks. If so, incredible for Portland.

    I am invested in Ant. Love the kid. Buuut, if the return balances the roster and puts another star next to Dame? Draft picks back would be good too but i figured them eating EBEC was the punishment for that contract. :)

    I admit im thinking off the cusp now. I jsut dont see us running with Dame/Hart/Ant/Sharpe long term. Too much overlap of talent in the same position.

    To me Dame and Hart is perfect. So where does Ant land long term verses Sharpe?

    I just think something is going to/has to give here.
    Sharpe wont net what Ant will so to me its a sign and tradeAnt for a star in a position of need.

    I don't fully agree, but I understand your feelings on the matter.

    If Sharpe is coming along quickly, we will likely look to trade Ant at the deadline... if Ant is being paid north of 20M. If Sharpe still isn't ready for major minutes I think Ant stays until he is. I don't love the idea of Dame/Ant but I want to give it a try. If Dame and Ant can defend and are complementary on offense then maybe Sharpe's future is at SF starting with both guys.

    It's nothing personal. He's just not good. Plus it looks like his personality is terrible. The Knicks would LOVE to dump him.

    Plans take two to tangle. I wanted Anunoby but I agree with Cronin, price was too high. So you go to plan B.

    Not trying to be a contrarian here, but summer league is such no-defense-rat-ball I'm not sure it will tell us much more than that he is (hopefully) healthy, in good shape, and is a good athlete. That's important, but doesn't address my concerns.

    he better hope sharpe sucks because there’s also a quote about how excited they were that Portland took sharpe instead of Daniels. Would hate for that to age poorly. That would suck!

    I don't honestly know. The conventional wisdom seems to be that he is not a very good rebounder for a PF, but that that is where his defensive value lies.:dunno:

    Sorry. Not sold. I think we need Hart’s dawg style next to Dame. I don't see how starting Dame Ant and Sharpe helps improve our size compared to Dame/CJ/Powell?

    His numbers seem to say he is good though?
    I think they want to dump him because they have no one to put with him and want to go full rebuild. His salary is obviously bloated.

    I believe Adam Sandler, in the role of Billy Madison, said it the best:

    "Here's a nice piece of shit!"
