Shaedon Sharpe, Blazers Agree to $90M Contract Extension After Toumani Camara Deal

The Portland Trail Blazers have committed to one of their young pieces for the long term.

Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the Blazers signed Shaedon Sharpe to a four-year, $90 million extension. Sharpe's rookie deal was set to expire after the 2025-26 campaign.

The deal comes after Portland signed Toumani Camara to a four-year, $82 million deal on Sunday.

The extension for Sharpe comes after the best season of the 22-year-old's career. The former seventh overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft put up 18.5 points per game, which was the second-most on the team behind Anfernee Simons, who is now with the Boston Celtics.

Sharpe has established himself as a capable scorer, and being just 22 means he still has plenty of room to develop his game further.

The Blazers have been in rebuilding mode for the last four seasons, but are starting to put together a strong young core with some valuable veterans also in the fold. Portland's presumed starting lineup will feature Sharpe, Camara, Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan, all of whom are 25 years old or younger. Jrue Holiday, who joined the Blazers in the Simons trade, will likely be the starter at point guard.

Portland also has Scoot Henderson, who is looking to put together a breakout year this season, though he will be out to start the season because of a torn left hamstring.

The Blazers weren't too limited financially, as they had $7.9 million in first apron space and $19.8 million in second apron space before the two deals on Sunday. Now, they've secured two vital pieces to their rebuild in Sharpe and Camara, and they'll look to get closer to being a championship-caliber team in 2025-26.
