Brogdon is widely seen as a potential trade candidate during the offseason, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports.

Sharpe, who hasn't played since Jan. 11 due to core muscle surgery, could return before the end of the season, head coach Chauncey Billups told Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site Wednesday. "He is getting better, getting on the court with us," Billups said. "He did a few things in our practice the other day, I thought he looked good so I was really excited about that...We'll just keep trying to ramp him up, challenge him physically to see if he can take it."
