The Houston Rockets have suffered a disastrous start to the season, and the team is in desperate need of additions.

In an offseason where Western teams such as the Thunder and Golden State Warriors got better, the Rockets got considerably worse, losing both Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute.

Last week, the Rockets were linked with a move for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, as The Athletic reported:

The Houston Rockets are emerging as a suitor for Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in multi-team trade scenarios.. in a desperate search for an upgrade at the wing, the Rockets are targeting Caldwell-Pope

Despite being rivals in the Western Conference, a trade looks likely, as the Lakers are desperate to trade Caldwell-Pope before his contract expires in the summer, and the Rockets have an evident interest in the 25-year-old.

A deal could go through before Christmas, and Carmelo Anthony may even be part of a trade.
