Yeah you just don’t trade the upside of Sharpe unless it’s netting us back a significant upgrade. When you are a market like Portland and you pluck a potential star you don’t trade that commodity for anything other than a franchise altering talent. Kid is 19. Shows glimpses of being a superstar in his first year even though you can tell he’s a deer in headlights and just trying to blend in really.
You should for sure post this in the trade deadline thread or trade rumors thread because people mostly look at this one to see each others' half cocked trade ideas. This is pretty legit reporting and actually means something.
how can you tell it's legit? it's behind a paywall for me besides that, there is nobody on Cleveland's roster, that they would give up, worth Hart
I sincerely doubt that Marang is making up that Stein said those things. There are three team trades all of the time. The fact that Stein is reporting that we're actively trying to find a new home for Nurk is a big deal too. I don't even know if Cleveland is interested in Josh because maybe we floated that to him because another team is interested in Josh and we're trying to get that offer higher.
he's a poor rebounder for being 6'7, and the Blazers have a rebounding problem. Trading Hart for Osman would make it worse
but again, how to know? all I have is Marang's interpretation of what Stein said. Portland has interest in Siakam and OG. Doesn't mean a trade is imminent. And I think it's been pretty easy to surmise that the Blazers are shopping Nurkic. Didn't take Stein to reveal that without seeing how Stein phrased things and what he said about sourcing, it's impossible for me to gauge this stuff
And in a year or 2 they will be right back where they have been the last several years after a very small window closes.
Then onto the next era. If you can’t get a significant roster upgrade then it wasn’t meant to be. I’m not saying I wouldn’t trade Sharpe for a star level talent. I’m just saying don’t trade him for a mid tier guy. Like a Dale Davis. Would you have rather had Jermaine O’Neal’s prime or Dale Davis? Because that’s the kind of a trade I want to avoid.
I don't see it either, but maybe they can give 4 seconds that we use for Vando... https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed Lots of seconds
jazz get a super young SF to try out, Cleveland adds a solid veteran to their starting lineup, we get a young PF with upside, and a peak at a sf for hart.
I'm not sure if this has been proposed but does this interest anyone? We could then trade Chicago their pick back so we no longer owe them a pick and maybe have them throw in a 2nd rounder. Would Orlando do this?
Not a chance. Wagner (Franz) is like their Shaedon Sharpe, only far more proven. I think they want to build around him and Banchero. Simons for Bamba, Suggs, and a first? Maybe...
I'd rather have Rubio than Winder, although, maybe, Winder's expiring contract would have value getting million off of next year's cap for that matter...if the Cavs want Hart so much then they can ship out both Okoro and Osman. Blazers get Vanderbilt and Osman...too greedy?
