    So I’m not gonna read all this, how many 1st and seconds to we own if NY makes the playoffs and does not make the playoffs? I’d appreciate it.

    This move means, "#17, put on your big boy pants." Sharpe with 24+ mpg rest of the season

    GP2 was acquired to provide help defending wings. The addition of Thybule makes him superfluous.

    Woooow. Okay this one shocked me.

    5 2nd round picks? Well, a lot of people are happy now that hated GP2 for inexplicable reasons.

    Great point. Sharpe skipping the slam dunk contest and staying home to grind makes more sense now.

    Knox and Reddish were traded for each other last season.

    If the Knicks miss the playoffs we have like 10,000 second round picks.

    I guess one of the positives is that the Blazers must like what they see in Sharpe to hand over those minutes

    Now do people understand why Sharpe isn't doing a meaningless contest?

    Cronin has made teams better since becoming GM. None of those teams are the Blazers.

    Maybe the Blazers are finally starting a G League team and need players to staff it.
