    I want to know where people stand.

    It seems like there are reports that teams wanted Sharpe. Most recent being New Orleans wanting Sharpe/Scoot and filler for Zion.

    Would you have included Sharpe to get one of the players we were chasing?

    Zion
    Paul George
    Mikal Bridges
    Pascal Siakam
    Jaylen Brown

    Am I forgetting anyone?

    Only player I would have included Sharpe for is Giannis.

    I'd add Embiid and Tatum to that list. But yeah, it's a short one to be sure...

    Zion is the only one on this list Id have traded Sharpe for, but I wouldn't include #3. It would be one or the other.

    Only other players I'd trade Sharpe for are Giannis or Embiid. Maybe Bam.

    I just want to know where people stand, because there have been more than a few people who are upset that Joe didn't get something done. I have heard a few people call him a liar. I have heard a few people say we should have taken back less value on Scoot to get something done.

    If the sticking point was Sharpe.... are you saying that you think he should have pulled the trigger?

    That's the beauty of a lot of posts on here. Joe is a failure for not making a trade appear that didn't exist, but nobody would give up what teams were actually asking for.
    Voted no. Would only trade Sharpe for guys who aren't actually available.

    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.

    The problem was, NOP wanted #3, AND Sharpe and the filler it took to match up which would have either been Ant, or Nurk + almost every other signed player on our roster not named Dame.

    It just didn't work. We didn't have enough tradeable contracts.

    For me the list has three guys on it and they just happen to be the last three MVPs so Embiid, Joker and Giannis. Those are the only guys in the league that I would have traded pick 3 and Shaedon for along with the knowledge that Nurk and Ant would have to be sent out as well.

    And honestly, Embiid is still a risk.

    Giannis and Jokic would be absolute no brainers though.

    I like how, if you read the idiots on twitter, it's somehow Cronins fault that New Orleans wanted Simons, #3 and Sharpe for Zion, and that he didn't take the trade.

    Yeah that probably should be stipulated in the poll. I think most are assuming it was both #3 and SS.
    And we all agree that would be stupid.

    If it was for Zion then it would just have to be Sharpe, Nurk and Nas to make the salaries match obviously #3 wouldn't have counted in the salary matching. I personally didn't think Zion was worth more than #3 because of the massive gamble that he is. So if we were going to trade #3, I probably would have wanted to just send out Nurk, Nas, Knox and Keon so we still had Ant to try and get a role playing C and some bench help.

    It just seems obvious to me that teams thought they had Joe backed into a corner and tried to leverage him into making a really bad trade. I don't blame them after seeing the LAC trade. They thought he would panic and sell the farm to keep Dame happy. Joe is going to have to prove to the league that he can't be bullied. If he sticks to his guns and doesn't trade Scoot, I suspect that will earn him some respect.
