Denver trade: Jackson, 28
Brooklyn trade: Sharpe, future 2nd(s)

Why for Denver: get a backup C
Why for Brooklyn: get a 1st for Sharpe whom they may not keep after this year

I like idea, just 1st + expiring contract for Sharpe is a little too much. Replace it with 2 seconds and keep 1st to pack it with Nnaji for solid backup point guard.

I think the value is about right, but Denver might be better off with a guy like Plumlee for the min and use this pick elsewhere.

Sharpe is my super secret center target for Memphis. If Denver balks I would offer 39 and 2 future 2nds for him.

Ya this is why i dont think 2nds alone from denver would cut it. I think they can get PG in FA (paul or Lowry) more easily than a C

We should look at a list of the last 10 players traded for a pick in the 20s.

If Christian Wood is still on this list(and I think he probably is) let's not.

Though in crow eating disclosure I liked it when they did it. I was dumb.

Sharpe is good, young, cheap physical depth at the 5. They're not giving him up for a very late 1st in this draft. That accomplishes nothing and doesn't advance any goal.

He's also expiring and may command a large offer/cut into your 2025 capspace plans next year

He won't command too big of a number. He'll be taxpayer MLE at most. Unless some steal falls to #28 that Marks loves, why commit guaranteed 1st round money to an extremely late pick in a weak draft? Beyond that, future 2nds alone may be as valuable as #28.

This is why I don't see Sharpe as a solution for Denver. Denver needs backup big to play 13-15 minutes behind Jokic and be ok. Denver can't pay that player much. Team like Memphis may see potental in Sharpe to be more than Denver needs of him. So Memphis may overbid us in trade. If Denver gets him and he is good, he will leave next year looking for bigger payday and biger role than we can get him. So next year we are at the biggining. Nets also don't need 28th pick and better road would probobly be to resign him, give him more chance to play and than decide between him and Nic Claxton for future. Than trade the other one for better return.
