    Send your big splash free agency recruiting ideas to ideas@rocketball.com. Out of the box ideas welcome--FA jersey on Sam Houston's statue?

    If we end up using your idea-and he becomes a Rocket-we'll introduce you&a guest to him at a gm this yr in courtside seats from the Rockets

    I didn't see this posted, so please lock it if it is. There's also a mention of it on the official Rox site

    Pretty cool.

    I think it'd be really great if someone designed a sleek website on why Chris Bosh should come to Houston...

    Free agent idea:

    1. Bosh (His efficiency rating is unbelievable; 'Nough said)
    2. Dirk (If he really want to go to another team in a sign and trade...let's do it)
    3. Lebron (If he wants to come here....by all mean, get IT DONE!!)

    If everything failed...then get Brad Miller.

    Don't bother getting Amare...his game depend too much on Nash. Plus he's too short and don't play defense. Basically lack size.

    I took it more as a "who should we go after" kind of thing. Like he's asking for sign-and-trade ideas for a variety of potential targets. I thought it was strange since he's the GM, but this makes more sense, lol.

    Here's what I sent.

    "How about a herd of motorcycles (w/ rockets banners) leaving Houston and riding all the way to Toronto to drop off a letter from Les or somebody?"

    Can you imagine the noise we'd make all the way there?

    We could pull a Mac Brown and hire a plane pulling a banner behind it ...

    Is Beyonce a Rockets fan? We should get her to sing him a song.

    1. As has been mentioned by myself and someone else, Les Alexander needs to pull an "Abe Pollin" and bless the Rockets with a high pick (hopefully #2 with the NYK pick) from the grave.


    2. My other idea is that Morey should show up to Bosh's home at midnight 6/31/2010 flanked by Lebron's mom and Amare's mom. That should make an impression.

    I suggested putting Yao in a cowboy hat and have him use his best Texas accent to convince Bosh to play for Houston -- a parody of his All Star video if you will.

    If you come over here, we will put you in the lottery to have a pre-arranged Marriage with your Son and Yao's Daughter.

    Scrubs need not apply.

    I suggested they try something similar to what Improv Everywhere does. for example...find out when bosh(?) will be visiting the local mall. Arrange to have about 100 people wearing Rockets' Bosh jerseys randomly walk around the mall. Of course he'll see some of them and trip out. Then after a while have all 100 fans casually approach Bosh, surround him and walk along with him. The key though is to not acknowledge him the whole time, act as if he's not even there. Let him see what it'll be like to see that jersey everywhere if he comes here.

    I should have added instead of using bosh's jersey we could just use the jerseys of all of the current players....because im thinking creating 100 fake bosh jerseys may be a problem. Stern may step in and start handing out fines...who knows

    That would be fantastic, and of course post about it here....

    Or even do it to Lebron.
