Denver Nuggets Receive: F Kenyon Martin Jr., 2023 First-Round Pick (MIL via HOU)
Houston Rockets Receive: G Bones Hyland
If you need proof that the league is trending towards positionless basketball, both of these teams provide examples.
In fact, the center position has changed as much as the point guard position has. More accurately, centers can effectively be point guards in the modern NBA.
Of course, Nikola Jokic is the best example of that principle. He’s not just the best passing big man in the NBA – he may be the best passer in the league, period. This Nuggets offense runs through him entirely.
Meanwhile, Alperen Sengun will have to work hard to reach Jokic’s level. Still, he bears some stylistic similarities.

If he is, would Hyland compliment him?
