The surreal grassland for which Shaedon Sharpe will renew with the Blazers

The NBA is a competition that, in recent years, has entered a new dimension of contracts that until relatively recently seemed unthinkable. Players who are not superstars are signing extensions that a couple of decades ago only the big names in the league could aspire to. But that's no longer the case, and figures like Shaedon Sharpe, from the Portland Trail Blazers, are benefiting from it.

The reconstruction project of the  Blazers continues to take shape, and Sharpe, one of its most promising pieces, will secure his long-term future with the franchise. As reported by Marc Stein in The Stein Line, the team from Oregon and its player are actively engaged in discussions to finalize a contract extension for 4 years and $100 million.

Sharpe, selected as the 7th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, is in the final year of his rookie contract, valued at $8.39 million.

Portland's interest in securing Sharpe is evident. At 21 years old, the shooting guard has shown consistent progress and offensive potential that position him as one of the cornerstones of the Blazers' new project, to which Damian Lillard has returned (although he will not play the entire year due to an Achilles injury).

Consolidating his relevance with the Blazers

During the past season, Sharpe averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 31.3 minutes per game, solidifying himself as a versatile scorer and increasingly reliable on the perimeter. His performance in the 2025 preseason has further reinforced the perception that he could be a future All-Star if he continues to develop his efficiency and consistency.
