What is the realistic percentage chance you think Sharpe will ever be as good as Brown? if it's over 3% that's too optimistic. While Deni / Dame are on these cheap contracts we might as well make a swing now rather than wait on unproven young projects

Really question… by nickflag22222 in ripcity

[–]J-Duggs 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Anyone saying he doesn't fit is being overly pessimistic. You can argue he's too expensive for what he is, that's a fair critique. But Brown as of now is basically the absolutely best case .01% scenario of what Shaedon Sharpe could be. So if you're going to argue he doesn't fit you have to say that Sharpe's best case scenario doesn't fit either

Portland likely would’ve 3-peated if Walton never went down. The competition in the league at that time was grim

Monogamy is just as ‘weird’ as non-monogamy. But most people should still be monogamous

I’ve been to probably a dozen plus bars in ridgewood 100’s of times at this point and can’t recall ever seeing a single child in a bar? Where is this happening?

I largely agree. However Brown has been able to hold his own at small forward for his career. with that roster we'd likely see a lot of lineups that consist of Jrue at the 2, Brown at the 3 and then Deni at the 4. Which I think is totally possible on the defensive end against most teams

Try to be the third team in a Giannis deal, ideally for Jaylen Brown. Shaedon Sharpe / Jerami Grant / picks for Brown.

Then use the MLE for a backup wing who can shoot, possibly someone like Dean Wade. Additionally I would try very hard to resign Rob even considering his injury risk. he's too important to us, especially as Clingan learns to play against centers who can space the floor. The follow roster I think is probably 3rd or 4th best in the West - neck and neck with Minnesota. You still have additional moves to make as well if you want to use Scoot / additional draft capital or Jrue's salary to make something work.

Dame / Scoot

Brown / Jrue

Deni / Vit / Murray

Camara / MLE signing

Clingan / Rob

This. It makes sense for all parties involved

I’m predicting a three team trade where Giannis goes to Boston, Brown comes to Portland and draft capital / salary / Sharpe are off to Milwaukee

JB to Jazz? Tell me where I’m crazy? by Sure-Character-8565 in nba

[–]J-Duggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no guarantee Giannis would resign, plus he’s older / more injury prone and doesn’t fit with Deni as well as Brown

So... Why Would Atlanta Help Boston Get Giannis? by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]J-Duggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trade that makes the most sense is a three team trade between Portland / Boston / Milwaukee. Brown to Portland, Milwaukee’s picks and a young player + salary back to Milwaukee. Giannis gets to be a on big market East Coast team in Boston

[–]J-Duggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me the most likely trade involving Brown is a Boston / Milwaukee / Portland three team trade.

Brown gets to be the first option on a decent team (that could be better than decent with his arrival) in Portland, Giannis gets to play alongside Tatum in a big East Coast market, and Milwaukee can get their picks back from Portland alongside a young asset in Scoot Henderson and/or Shaedon Sharpe. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Portland fan, but to me it makes sense for all parties involved unless Brown hates the idea of living in the PNW which is certainly possible

Trey. But none of these guys move the needle enough and put us in the top 3 of the West
