One trade each NBA team should consider

Houston, we have a problem. The Houston Rockets are going through a tough time as they’ve slid as low as sixth place in recent days after being in the top three or four early in the season. They need to make a little shakeup at the trade deadline and we know they aren’t afraid to do so.
In this trade, the Rockets could leverage the New York Knicks, who have zero leverage. They have no chance to make the playoffs and Marcus Morris is set to be a free agent this summer. They could send sharpshooter (yet often injured) Eric Gordon and Ben McLemore to New York for Marcus Morris and Reggie Bullock.
Morris would bring an elite wing presence that Houston could really use, as they could Bullock to fill the 3-point shooting void left by Gordon.
The New York Knicks as of late have been known for making some outrageous trades, like the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Could Houston pull something like this off?
