Seems like Alperen Sengun will be traded soon or later

14%. I don't know how many times I have to say it, but the Rockets have a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 pick.

Also, Sengun is clearly the best player on the roster today, and you don't trade your best young player when you're rebuilding. Everyone needs to chill on the "let's trade this young player" threads. It's getting out of hand.

 

SOFs like OP can go with him

 

Who would have guessed a Sengun weirdo would be crying about some random article unrelated to him.

 

Why trade Sengun when Wemby doesn't want to play Center?

 

We need to draft an 8 footer so they feel comfortable playing center.

 

Sengun isn't mentioned anywhere in the article.

Also, I have always said that Wemby is a forward, and therefore Sengun and Wemby could play really well together.

Oh yes, and...14 %.

The one you would have to consider trading at some point might be Jabari...if he cannot get his act together. If he can, then Wemby/Tari/Bari could split the 96 minutes at SF/PF.

Sengun has proven he can play with anybody who steps on the court with him. Why trade him?

 

This thread seems like the OP has a conclusion that Sengun will be traded and is digging for any semblance of a rumor to back that up. For all we know the next coach might run the offense through Sengun in the high post, ala Webber/Divac era Kings.

 

If Sengun is close to his peak... which I have no reason to believe, but if he is...

He's best as the king of the second unit offense on a contender, or the offensive focal point for a bad team. He'd especially shine as a backup to Joker or Sabonis as those teams already know how to play with a passing big man. Cross that bridge when you get to it.

 

For those that have been watching Wemby, how good are his defensive skills? Reading the article makes me think he just wants to play offense and doesn't care for imposing his will in the paint like a big man is supposed to do.

 

14% to get Wembamama. Then you multiply that by the probability that he is not going to break-down even before he plays a game, Chet-style... So right now we are looking at single digit percentage chance that he'd suit for the Rockets next year.

 

Been saying this for a while now. Sengun is not gonna be here long term. If we draft Wemby, he’ll definitely be gone. The SOFs can follow him too

 

C = Sengun
PF = Wemby
SF = Jabari
SG = Green
PG = TBD

 

Reminds me of the other SOF who was saying it was in the Rockets' best interests to trade Sengun to the Celtics and that's the best for both teams. In truth, they're just terrified somebody else might get put ahead of him in the rotation and that jars too much with their completely irrational belief that Sengun is and should be the be all and end all in basketball. He's a good player with a lot of potential, he's not Lebron.

 

The chances are in 5 years every one of our players now on this roster will have been traded.

I would say Sengun is less likely since they essentially gave up 2 firsts to take him so that’s a huge investment they won’t give up on lightly.

More than anything assume a GM like Stone who is trying to prove himself will never take 25 cents on the dollar that he spent just recently. He’ll trade Sengun if he can make a case that he took 1 dollar and got 1.25 back…. But that’s the case right now with this entire roster so Sengun is nothing special.

Stone isn’t getting anything back for Sengun that is greater than two decent first round picks… so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
