Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe gets $90 million contract update before new season image

The Portland Trail Blazers continue to make moves to try to instill the culture they want.

And it's clear they want Shaedon Sharpe to be a part of that.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Trail Blazers have made a contract extension offer to Sharpe.

Their offer, per the report, came in at about four years and $90 million.

Sharpe is one of the most exciting players in recent Portland times. He's a high-flying 6-foot-6 guard.

The Trail Blazers initially got him as the No. 7 overall pick out of Kentucky in 2022.

Sharpe, who is Canadian, has gotten better each season in the league.

As a rookie, he averaged 9.9 points per game. He raised that to 15.9 points per game in his second season.

In 2024-25, Sharpe put up 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

He is only a 33% 3-point shooter in his career. That's the skill that could potentially elevate him to superstardom if he ever improves beyond the line.

Even without that, though, Sharpe is clearly a long-term, high-end starter in the NBA.

And the Trail Blazers want to do what they can to make sure he's doing that contributing in Portland and not somewhere else.
