I saw a report earlier today that if the Bucks were to accept Miami's package, they would prefer rerouting Herro and/or Jovic. I'm interested in all opinions (but preferably Blazers fans), what do you guys think of this trade?
Are the Bucks getting enough of a return?
Is the upgrade from Sharpe to Herro worth returning swap-rights to Milwaukee?
Are the Heat giving up too much?
Additionally, here are my thoughts on the pros/cons of a Sharpe/Herro swap:
PROS (for Milwaukee)
Sharpe is coming off of a 20.8 / 4.3 / 2.6 season on 45/33/79 splits
In games this season (19) with 32+ minutes, Sharpe averaged 23.9 / 5.2 / 3.3 on 44/36/80 splits
Downgrade from Herro (Career 20.5 / 4.8 / 4.1 on 48/38/92 splits) but Sharpe is younger (~23.1 vs 26.5)
Bucks will likely be bad post-Giannis era -- getting rights to own pick is very valauble
CONS (for Milwaukee)
Sharpe was essentially a non-factor in playoffs
Very questionable defense and injury history (but similar comparison can be made for Herro)
PROS (for Portland)
Herro is more efficient, consistent, and experienced (1 finals appearance in 2020, but did not play in 2023 finals)
Could fit well alongside Dame and Deni
CONS (for Portland)
20M -> 33M cap hit going from Sharpe to Herro
Lose leverage to Milwaukee by returning valuable pick-swaps
