Rockets Will Dangle Sengun in Trade Offers for Mitchell & Antetokoumpo This Summer?

Could the Houston Rockets target Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell this summer?

The reason why is his up-and-down play in the second half of the season, and non-existent play over the first two games of their series against the Lakers. After moving on from rising star Jalen Green to get Durant last year, Guillory suggests they could do the same again this summer with the two-time All-Star. His addition to any trade package would make him a favorite for any superstar on the trade block in the offseason.

“Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a name many connect to Houston as a potential superstar who could be acquired in a Sengun trade,” Guillory wrote. “Kawhi Leonard or Donovan Mitchell could also be possibilities. If Houston makes Sengun available, along with some of the future draft picks they hold, it would put them squarely among the favorites to acquire any of the disgruntled superstars who may become available.”

Antetokounmpo being traded will be a top storyline this summer after the Milwaukee Bucks listened to offers before the deadline. Reports emerged last week that if Mitchell doesn’t sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers after the season, he could also be put on the trade block. Leonard should also be available as the Clippers look to undergo a rapid rebuild over the next two years.
