@blazers_palace Pls no. Just try to upgrade the PF position. Jrue is the highest paid in a crowded gaurd room. Package him and picks for kawahi. & Sign Rui.
A sneaky good move for the Blazers would be to make a move for Devin Booker.
This team DESPERATELY needs scoring and shooting and this would be a perfect fit
Portland did a four-year tank and the end result was Shaedon basically getting benched in an elimination game, Scoot crashing back to Earth in Games 4-5, and Clingan dropping one mighty stinker of a series with or without Wemby. Three top-7 picks right there.
Longtime Portlander with 1 degree of separation insider trading
Bombshell I waited to drop till the end of season.
-Milwaukee wants Clingan
-A deal is basically there
The only hiccup is the Blazers will never do this without Giannis signing an extension
Balls in GA’s court
@Squirrellybear@WorldWideWob I just don’t see how a franchise can go all in on Jrue over the likes of Shae or Scoot. Jrue is the highest paid on the roster at 36 years old. In the regular season Shae and Jrue were basically same level player to me. Don’t build an iffy one year winner for blowing up future
@RaiderZilch@WorldWideWob I believe Tom wants to win immediately rather than continue with a slow build up. I don’t WANT to trade Shaedon or Scoot, but I think the team will view now as the time to move one of them as part of a package(with picks and Jerami likely) for an allstar.
Shaedon Sharpe played six total minutes in the season-ending loss to the Spurs tonight.
Sharpe, who averaged 20.8 points across 29.4 minutes per game in the regular season, seems to have an uncertain future in Portland after signing a four-year, $90M extension in October.
@LawMurrayTheNU If they move anyone other than Jrue it’s mal practice in my opinion. You cannot sell future for 36 year old 36 million dollar Jrue. I love his game but that is just too much risk. Look to get more depth at PF as Deni is basically a guard now. Jrue + picks 4 Kawahi & sign Rui. LFG
I am so fascinated by Portland's point guard situationship
- Jrue Holiday: 36 yo 2027 PO
- Scoot Henderson: extension eligible
- Damian Lillard: 36 yo post-Achilles NTC
Deni Avdija/Shaedon Sharpe: not point guards but both need ball and Avdija played like Sharpe's extension $$$
@ShaedonSharpe led a team in steals that had Toumani Camara and Jrue holiday on it. But ya he isn’t improving and should be traded LOL #blazer fans are so dam stupid.
@swishhhh0@blazerwagon Couldn’t agree more. Attach some picks to him and try to get Kawahi or another PF who can spread the floor and defend. The freed up money would be massive. Also gives dame Shae scoot the runway to be great.
@blazerwagon Love Jrue but i doubt he will be better than this. Dame coming back, scoot showed something this year. So i think trade him while he has value and resign Rob. Thats the first thing we should do. 36mill is too much.
Portland has 12 players on the roster going into the offseason. If they wanted to they could make a BIG splash Trade.
Name some targets we should go after.
Ill go first:
NAZ Reid
@sheeltyle@TDCanes trading Shaedon and our picks is only gonna hurt this team in the long run. Let the guys develop and keep the picks so our depth as they hit their prime becomes ridiculous. DONT FORCE A TRADE FOR AGING STAR VETS LIKE THE CLIPPERS OKC TRADE. #blazers
@Squirrellybear@WorldWideWob Why is everyone obsessed with moving our 22 year old with the highest upside. It makes no sense. Clippers did it with sga and look where it got them. We have all these picks in the future. Let the young guys develop and those picks are gonna be the reason we turn into OKC.
@WorldWideWob Scoot in games 1-3(pre trash talk to Harper) had me believing he was going to fight for an allstar spot next season .
Post trash talk to Harper Scoot is a different player. I really want pre-trash talk Scoot to be the normal Scoot next season.
I’m scared it’s time to trade Shae
@farsideagm@JWeinbachNBA He leads the team in steals while being second in scoring on the team. His offensive skill set far outweighs his negative attributes. 22 years old and has gotten better every season. With Lillard his offense gets even easier. Moving him would be a massive mistake.
He doesn’t play defense. Blazers aren’t going to win many games, against good teams, with him on the court. Been saying this for the past 3-6 months. He needs to add 10-15 lbs of muscle and focus on playing both ends of the court. Feel in love with 25 footers and quit driving. His game is a mess right now.
@sheeltyle@spurs@trailblazers Don’t trade Shae. The upside isn’t worth the move and we need his scoring. Move Jrue and picks for Kawahi and run it back.
@SleeperBlazers It’s been all series. Why is clingan still guarding castle? Why is Shaedon not starting? Why is small ball not utilized? Why are we attacking Wemby? Wasted challenges in previous games. Full court presses smoked for free shots. We can’t set up d with how bad o is. Tiago out.
@RipcityTitty Man Tiago did him no favors. Why tf is he guarding a castle in space every possession. He should be playing back up while we small ball with Shaedon/Grant for majority of the game. But that’s too much iq for our franchise I guess.
I’m constantly hearing people say “defense this” and “defense that” when it comes to Shaedon Sharpe, but I’m not hearing those same people acknowledge that the team has statistically performed better with Shae on the court throughout this series
