They would do it so fast, your head would spin. BTW, Malaki is better than Sharpe, too.
He isn't way better. Portland would not trade Sharpe for Sochan straight up.
Their fans would be in an uproar if they did.

No, your Spur bias is showing.
It’s a talent bias. Other players drafted after Sharpe are better, too. Jalen Duran is a fine young player, better than Sharpe, and not a Spur. AJ Griffin is better, too.
You aren't seeing talent if you think those guys have higher upside and are better than Sharpe.
Time will tell.
Malaki is a better offensive player than Sharpe. Does that mean he'll have more All-Star appearances?
Malaki is not better.
Go and ask Blazer fans and you'll see no one wants to trade Sharpe for Sochan.
We're arguing over preference here. You value one dimensional athletes, you pick Sharpe. Most people here value all around, smart basketball players, we take Sochan. It was that way even before the draft, so there's no point in arguing. What I will concede is that I was extremely skeptical of Sharpe, and even though he's not the kind of player I'd build around, he's got the raw tools to keep him in the league for a long time. I don't think he'll be the superstar you're expecting, though. And in any case, I think Malaki at 20 will end up much better value than Sharpe at 7.
Sharpe’s most likely outcome is something along the lines of Lonnie Walker or Ben McLemore, über athletes with a nice jumper, but no feel for the game. Lonnie is in season five, and Ben lasted nine seasons, but is currently unemployed.
That's too harsh, but yeah, he's a disproportionately better athlete than basketball player. This is why you need to evaluate players in a compe ive, organized basketball context. There's no subs ute for it.
Sharpe is a mental midget. Initial reports that he dropped out of the dunk contest because he was passed over for the Rising Stars challenge were quickly covered up by the team through Shams saying he wanted to instead focus on the second half of the season. Even the most ardent Blazers' fan doesn't believe that line of BS. In Sharpe you have a prima donna that goes into pout mode when he doesn't get his way. That's a major red flag against a successful NBA career. I don't know how good Maliki will end up being but he doesn't appear to have glass ego Sharpe does.
Mental midgets don't play in the NBA at age 19.
Duren was the better pick for the Spurs instead of Sochan. Duren looks like a young David Robinson.
Opinions not facts
we should just make a rascal takes thread. I am putting money in the bank for the inevitable "Sharpe is a better prospect than wemby" and want to see it happen. The money is to check myself into a mental ins ution from the psychic damage of having to see such a bad take
just stop
i also wanted duren and he isnt a bad player but please
d rob was a freak of nature and had strength, speed, athleticism, etc
worlds beyond what duren will ever approach
please stop
malaki might end up being ok
But he is so far- pretty ing below average and needs to work on his long range shooting
he IS better than that other scrub- wesley something or other- but please stop making him out to be anything other than a below avgg rookie
David was better when he entered the league, clear number 1 pick. He was older. Duren has room to grow that's why I said a young David Robinson (at 19).
He dropped 30 and 17 on the Spurs
I believe spurs would still take Sochan in this redraft.
He's already getting obsessed with Jalen Hood-Schifino in this draft.
That kid is going to be good.
