22-year-old All-Star + chips to exchange for 30-year-old superstar?
9:38pm, 18 May 2025【Basketball】
Domantas Sabonis once grew up as an All-Star center while playing for the Pacers, but his team-leading ability was average and he was eventually sent away by a trade. Sabonis was only 25 years old at that time, and it was the time when the transaction value was the highest. Pacers were shipped at high prices. Now the Pacers have made a breakthrough under the leadership of Halliburton, and have defeated the Bucks and Cavaliers in a row this season, with hope of winning the championship. The Kings, where Sabonis is located, is only ninth in the West and eventually missed the playoffs.
Before the 2021 draft, an expert compared Alperen Sengon and Domantas Sabonis, who had similar characteristics. Now Sengong has grown into the best player in the Rockets and has also been selected as the All-Star. This season's playoffs averaged 36.6 minutes per game, scoring 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.9 steals, with a shooting percentage of 45%.

Some American media believe that the Rockets may use 22-year-old all-center Alperenga chips to exchange for 30-year-old superstar Antetokounmpo. NBC reporter Kurt Helin revealed that in order to compete for the championship, the Rockets are planning a team-breaking deal, and they are willing to join Alperen Sengon in the transaction negotiations of Antetokounmpo. To be honest, although Sengong is only 22 years old, theoretically his upper limit will not be very high.
Sengong entered the fourth year of his NBA career and still failed to solve his projection shortcomings and was dragging his free throws. Sengon will expose his defensive and physical weaknesses at critical moments of the game. If the Rockets only aim for the playoffs, they can continue to stay with Sengon, but obviously this team has a bigger goal.

Stone and Uduka both mentioned that the Rockets' goal is the championship, and now Houston has a chance to get the cornerstone player in the trade. Although Sengon is very good, it is obvious that he and Antetokounmpo are not at the first level, even if the latter is already 30 years old. Sengong is the offensive core chosen by Uduka. The offensive tactics are all about him. The Rockets sent him away and then demolished the team.
Kurt Helin also said that Smith Jr. may also become one of the bargaining chips for Antetokounmpo's trading, and the Rockets have multiple future first-round picks. In addition, the reporter also said that Antetokounmpo may be more inclined to get Jaylen Green. Many Rockets fans think this is good news, but this conclusion is just a reporter's personal speculation and does not represent the true thoughts of the Bucks management. Some Rockets fans also said that if they can get Antetokounmpo, Alperen Sengon and Jaylen Green can both send them away. From the current perspective, except Amen, Shepard may not be put into Antetokounmpo's trading negotiations, and Amen has become a non-sale product of the Rockets.

, and Stone is very optimistic about her offensive talent. Shepard, who has few chances to play this season, has received good news. Uduka said she will consider increasing his playing time next season. Uduka felt the dilemma of lacking shooters and organizers through the playoffs with the Warriors, and Shepard's shooting and ball quotation are his advantages, which is also the main reason why many draft experts and NBA executives were optimistic about him at the time.

If the Rockets can trade Antetokounmpo, it will be a good thing for Shepard. Antetokounmpo needs to be accompanied by a shooter to open up space for him. The Bucks coaching staff gave AJ Green a chance. AJ Green, who is 1.93 meters tall, was just talented and could only sign a two-way contract at the beginning after entering the NBA. AJ Green averaged 11 points and 2 assists per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 51.4%. You should know that Shepard's talent is better than AJ Green. In theory, he will become an excellent partner of Antetokounmpo.
