The Rockets needed to recalibrate to improve their offense and defense, and the Houston Rockets started the new season with a two-game losing streak, which made management lose confidence in the rookies on the team. While a series of signings in the offseason seemed to boost the team, the Rockets' offensive and defensive problems were exposed in the first two games of the new season, losing to the Magic and Spurs, two weaker teams. If the Rockets want to make a run for the playoffs, they will have to seize the opportunity to further strengthen their roster. In order to enhance the impact of the Rockets' backcourt, they are interested in a 4-for-1 trade with the Chicago Bulls, hoping to acquire All-Star Zach LaVine. After the Bulls re-signed LaVine, the team's record did not improve much, and they hovered on the edge of the playoffs all year round. The Bulls' hierarchy is also eager to change that, and they don't have much confidence in the core of LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. LaVine didn't have a good run in the first two games, scoring just 24 points and shooting low percentage from the field. However, as a former All-Star, LaVine exploded today, scoring a career-high 51 points, becoming the first player in the league to score 50 points this season. However, despite LaVine's excellent performance, the team still failed to win the game, which left him very frustrated. The Bulls lacked a great point guard, and LaVine wasn't very playmaker, and he didn't even have an assist today. Therefore, it makes sense for the Bulls to give up on LaVine. The Rockets are interested in acquiring LaVine to improve their shooting guard, and if they can trade Daniel House and Kyle Luwell, as well as future draft picks, for LaVine, the Bulls will agree to the deal, as such a chip is very sincere to them. LaVine is very good, averaging 24.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season while shooting 48.5% from the field and 37.5% from three-point range. It can be said that LaVine is a very good player, he has shown excellent scoring ability with the Bulls, averaging 20+ points per game. After joining the Rockets, LaVine's athleticism will give the team a huge boost on both the offensive and defensive ends. It is worth mentioning that LaVine is not only excellent in shooting, he also has excellent breakthrough ability. As a former dunk king, he can easily break through defenders and create scoring opportunities for the team. In addition, his shooting ability is also very well-rounded, whether it is mid-range or three-point shooting, he is able to hit. His addition will form a backcourt duo with Vanessa Jordan and will undoubtedly be more dangerous than Green, providing the Rockets with more options on the offensive end. While the Rockets aren't happy with Green's current performance, Green still has a lot of potential. As a 21-year leader, Green is 1.98 meters tall, weighs 89 kilograms, and has a gifted physical fitness. Last season, he averaged 22.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 33.4 percent from three-point range. Green is known as a player with Bryant's potential, LaVine's level, and even if not at LaVine's level, he has the ability to be an All-Star and a good ball handler. However, Green has not been doing well this season, averaging just 16 points per game while shooting just 40 percent from the field and an intolerably low 28.6 percent from three-point range. This is very bad for the Rockets' playoff prospects. The Rockets can't wait. The Rockets' offer to trade Tate and Oladipo as a condition is nothing short of an addition, but this year's No. 20 pick Whitmore has huge potential, averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in the preseason. His dunk and outside shooting abilities are excellent, and combined with his excellent physicality, he has a chance to become an All-Star caliber player for the Bulls. In addition to trading LaVine, the Rockets could also rebuild their starting lineup and improve the overall strength of the team. They can rely on Christian Wood as the core of the interior line, while Usman Garuba, Vanessa Jordan, Jalen Green and Ilshard Walden make up a formidable starting five. Wood is excellent on the offensive end, averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field, 37.5 percent from three-point range, and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. As a shooting guard, LaVine averaged 24.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 48.5% from the field and 37.5% from three-point range. As a starting small forward, Brooks averaged 15.5 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, shooting 60.5% from the field and 62.5% from three-point range. Smith averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds per game as a starting power forward, and despite his poor shooting percentage, he was still outstanding on the defensive end. As a starting center, Shin Jing averaged 19.5 points, 11 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game, shooting 58.6% from the field. The Rockets' defeats in the previous games have been a wake-up call that they will need to make adjustments, especially against stronger opponents. To sum up, the Rockets will need to recalibrate to improve their offensive and defensive strength. Getting Zach LaVine through a trade could boost the team's shooting guard. At the same time, rebuilding the starting line-up is also an effective way to ensure that the overall strength of the team is improved. The Rockets will have to seize their chances and make changes in order to do well in the new season. Finally, I'd like to ask readers, how do you think the Rockets should adjust to improve the team?
