What are your realistic expectations for Alperen Sengun's production next season?

What if the Rockets have one more blockbuster left in them?

A new trade prediction has Houston going all-in for Anthony Davis, giving the team another superstar to pair with Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun in a win-now push.

Proposed mock trade:
• Rockets receive: Anthony Davis
• Wizards receive: Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason (sign-and-trade), Dorian Finney-Smith, and three second-round picks

As SI’s Jed Katz wrote, “Houston has the ammunition to pull the trigger on another blockbuster trade… They could package a few picks and just a portion of that young core to land a win-now star.” Katz floated Davis as that target.

While Wiz of Awe’s John Canady reported that “Anthony Davis has seemed to make his stance clear behind the scenes that if he had his choice, he wouldn’t be sticking around with the Washington Wizards.”

If this deal ever became reality, the Rockets would roll out a loaded lineup with Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Alperen Sengun.

That’s the kind of move that would have Houston fans dreaming big for next season.

Kevin Durant is closer to history than many fans realize. 👀

If KD stays healthy and continues playing until age 40, he would need roughly 214 more games to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and move into second place on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

Durant recently said he wants to "play until I can't no more."

Just imagine that.

A 40-year-old KD is still getting buckets and climbing past one of the most untouchable records in basketball history. 🐐

Alperen Sengun joining the legendary 20/10/5 playoff club proves that the Rockets have found their franchise cornerstone—matching the postseason impact of all-time greats before even reaching his prime.🚀🟥

Kevin Durant’s latest viral moment comes from a paparazzi photo after a mystery Nobu date...

While the Rockets star’s awkward attempt to dodge attention is getting laughs online, fans are locked in on one bigger question, who the mystery woman beside him is. 👀🔗👇🏼

The greatest pure scorer the game has ever seen is nowhere near finished. 🐐🎯

Kevin Durant is roughly 214 games away from matching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 2 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list. With his eyes set on playing well into his late 30s and 40s, history is bound to be rewritten.

The Houston Rockets already landed Kevin Durant, but one proposed blockbuster could take things to another level.

A trade package for Jaylen Brown has surfaced, and it might be one of the few offers capable of making the Boston Celtics seriously listen.

Could Houston really pair KD and Brown together? Story in Comments 🔗👇

The Rockets just got a front-row seat to what championship basketball looks like.

For weeks, the NBA watched the Spurs and Knicks battle through the postseason. Houston got something valuable from it too:

A blueprint.

The Rockets already have the talent.

Alperen Şengün is an All-NBA caliber centerpiece.

Amen Thompson continues to show flashes of becoming one of the league’s most versatile young stars.

Kevin Durant gives them the proven superstar every contender needs.

But the Western Conference Finals showed the difference between being a playoff team and a championship team.

Amen Thompson must continue developing as a creator.

Reed Sheppard needs to become a more reliable lead guard.

Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason have to become consistent floor spacers.

The encouraging part?

These aren’t roster problems.

They’re development problems.

If Houston’s young core takes the next step, they may be closer to the NBA’s elite than it seems.

The talent is there.

Now comes the hard part: turning potential into a contender.

Amen Thompson is primed for a massive breakout next year after putting the entire league on notice with his elite defensive lockdown skills and generational athleticism.
