Would you trade Scoot and Sharpe (and others not including Dame) for Embiid?

  1. Hell yes - finally Dame gets to contend

  2. Hell no - I'm not mortgaging the future for that loser

    I think this is the craziest suggestion you’ve made since your Papanikolaou fondness(maybe crazier), and I still remember you giving me a hard time for making a pap-smear joke.

    Sharpe is legit… Do you think he’s really a sell high candidate? Like his value will never be higher than now?

    Yes Blazer fans are loving Scoot. There was much more appetite to trade the #3 pick before the draft then to now trade Scoot after fans have gotten to know him. Dude looks like a #1 pick type of franchise changing prospect. Sharpe is probably thought of even higher.

    I'd consider the trade if there was a path to get that roster contending after the trade. I just don't see how a wing rotation starting with Thybulle and Murray would get the Blazers there, even with two great all stars. We've seen more of the great all star duos in the NBA fail than succeed. The other starters and role players are critical for those teams.

    They can have Scoot + Ant + anything else on the roster except Dame + Sharpe.

    An MVP or the potential of two young guys?

    Pretty obvious what most Blazer fans will pick!
