Just curious do you keep Sharpe or flip him? Seems like we would have an abundance of guards. Also any trade for Zion will likely bring back Simons too right for salary purposes?
he’s too talented. I’m 100% keeping him. Scoot/Sharpe backcourt with Trey at the 3 would be absurd. Acquire both of those guys, worry about everything else later. Tbh I’d imagine we’d give up both Herb and Zion to get Portland to say yes.


Scoot/Jose
CJ/Sharpe
Trey/Dyson
BI/Nance/EJ
JV (or new center)

Plus you have the 14th pick

Think that’s a roster that can win games now and win games for many years to come. Fans will come to games to watch these guys play.


As far as simons goes, you’ll probably get a third team and reroute simons there. Whether it’s Charlotte or another team.

I would send them Ingram, Herb, Naji and 14 for Sharpe, Simons and 3. Seems like fair value.

I only do this if i know i can get Scoot though. A new starting 5 of Scoot, CJ, Trey, Zion, Jonas with Jose, Simons, Sharpe, Nance, Willy, Dyson coming off the bench would be elite. You have everything from rebounding to shooting around Zion.

I rather trade Dyson than Herb personally. Herb is just so flexible defensively and has DPOY potential plus Herb could be invaluable come playoff time.

Man talk about immediately lowering your basketball IQ.

Sharpe and Simons are idiots. No way, I'm giving up Herb and BI for those clowns.

I get that I just think Portland would be more accepting to giving up sharpe if they can get a known player in Herb. Especially with the report that Dame doesn’t want to play with young developing guys anymore

bit unfair to say he has no bball iq when he didn’t even play organized ball the year before joining the nba. I take the stats of the last 10 games of the season with a grain of salt usually but Sharpe was putting up BI numbers when Portland benched all their main guys.

This is interesting. If he's receiving a green room invite good chance he's going higher than projected.


25 prospects have received green room invites, fwiw

Simons

Simons could always be re-routed for another player. Simons and 3 to Charlotte for Hayward and 2 for example. You still get shooting with Hayward plus the advantage of an expiring max contract that you can flip at the deadline if someone you really want comes available like a Bam, Bridges etc

There were a lot of pre draft rumors about Sharpe

But let’s be fair, none of the negative ones really came to fruition in year 1.

He’s much more advanced than people gave him credit for, he tries on defense and is actually a legitimate nuisance bc of his insane athletic ability, and there were no off court issues. He also stayed reasonably healthy.

Sharpe is also reportedly 6'8 now.

What more do you want in that deal? You get Scoot, a contract you can flip in Hayward, another pick, and Sharpe.

Zion can't be a generational talent if he isn't on the floor.

Scoot, Sharpe, Hayward, and a late first is a fantastic return for Zion. I would jump all over that in a heartbeat.

If Zion goes on to play 75 games for the next decade then so be it.

A Zion deal to Portland for me would have to look more along the lines of Scoot, Sharpe and 3 additional future 1sts.

Using your framework though I would do:
Pels: Scoot, Sharpe, Hayward, Williams, 25 and 27 1sts
Blazers: Zion, Herb
Hornets: Simons, Naji, #3, another 1st from Blazers

Zion is a once in a generation talent, that doesn’t and shouldn’t come cheap regardless of injury history, which is reason #367 why i would prefer to trade Ingram because his value is a bit more realistic to do a trade.

I assume you would also sell a Lambo for $25,000 because you don’t want to fix the transmission in it right?

Never sell for less than a players full worth, that’s how you get fired and how you lose a fan base. What you propose is a good trade for a fringe all star like BI, not a MVP level talent like Zion.

That’s just it. That is Zion’s value right now. You run the risk of tanking it even more if you have another season like the last two. At some point a guy is who he is. Sure it could go the other way but the odds aren’t in that favor.

Scoot is that good. Read the recent article about how discusses his body and how he understands what needs to be done. He’s already thinking like a 10yr vet. How can you not want that?

That depends, sounds like you’re assuming the transmission is fixable. I’m working off the assumption that it’s not.
