Boston Celtics have their eye on Şengün

As the NBA offseason unfolds busily, eyes have turned to Alperen Şengün's future. According to reports, Boston Celtics have had a long-standing interest in the Turkish player who plays for the Houston Rockets. But, again according to reports, there are no concrete talks between the two teams at this point.

One of the most important storylines on Boston's agenda was the future of Jaylen Brown, who had long been on the trade block. During this process, according to reports, a three-team trade in which Brown would go to the Houston Rockets, Kevin Durant to the Detroit Pistons, and Alperen Şengün to the Boston Celtics was also discussed at one point. However, it was stated that this deal did not move to an advanced stage.

According to reports, in that scenario Alperen Şengün would have played alongside star player Jayson Tatum in Boston. This possibility became a much-discussed prospect among Celtics fans. But the trade did not happen, and Boston Celtics sent Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George. No definite information was shared as to why the deal did not move to an advanced stage.

Alperen Şengün produced one of the best performances of his career with the Houston Rockets last season and was selected as an All-Star for the second season in a row. The young player's individual rise has led to his name being mentioned at the center of major trades. Although there is no concrete development between the two teams for now, news about Alperen Şengün's future is expected to remain on the agenda in the coming period.
