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.
