Rockets’ Alperen Sengun backup identified as trade candidate by NBA writer

The Houston Rockets made a flurry of moves this offseason to get closer to title contention, though they may continue tweaking their roster as the 2025-26 season progresses.

The club has a loaded frontcourt following its offseason acquisitions. Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith make up the forward spots, while Alperen Sengun, Steven Adams and Clint Capela are the Rockets’ options at center.

Head coach Ime Udoka heavily experimented with a double-big lineup featuring Sengun and Adams last season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Rockets continue to utilize it. However, this leaves Capela as the likely odd-man-out.
