No, Shaedon Sharpe has never been a member of the Golden State Warriors. Hopefully, he stays with the Portland Trail Blazers for a long time. However, the Blazers aren't making it any easier on themselves to make that a reality by low-balling him in extension talks.
We just saw how messy restricted free agency can get with Jonathan Kuminga in Golden State. If the Blazers don't increase their offer to Sharpe before the start of the season, it's very possible that the NBA's next RFA saga will take place in Portland.
Blazers must learn from Warriors' messy Jonathan Kuminga saga
NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on The Stein Line (subscription required) that Portland offered Sharpe a rookie-scale extension in the range of four years, $90 million. That doesn't mean that Portland actually wants to get a deal done to secure its high-flyer long term before the start of the season.
Fischer notes that team strategists around the league expect Sharpe's next contract to be in the nine digits. He compared it to Josh Giddey's deal this summer with the Chicago Bulls, which ultimately landed at four years, $100, adding that it could be even higher than that.
The Blazers aren't too far away from that range, and it doesn't seem impossible for a deal to get done before the season. On media day, general manager Joe Cronin said that Portland is "very open-minded" about the idea of committing to Sharpe. However, multiple Blazers sources have also noted that a deal getting done seems unlikely.
Maybe their stance changed since Sharpe's training camp play, where he has emerged as the one standout performer. But this offseason, Cronin has made it a point of emphasis to keep the books clean (outside of the Jrue Holiday trade). That could be the approach they take with Sharpe's contract situation, making him prove that he's actually going to take the leap he's capable of before inking him to a new deal.
If that is the case, Sharpe should certainly bet on himself. Several teams are projected to have cap space next summer, and he could get rewarded for a career year if he improves his defense and shooting. A 22-year-old with star upside is the exact type of player a team like the Brooklyn Nets could overpay for in restricted free agency, which would then force Portland's hand, as they essentially have to match it.
The Blazers can't afford to let Sharpe go, as he has arguably the highest upside on their entire roster. He's proving this summer that one way or another, they're going to have to commit to him. It could be in Portland's best interest to do that before the start of the season, before things get even more complicated (and expensive). However, given the reports and their initial offer, Portland has shown little urgency in making that happen.
