    @STEIN_LINE_HQ Most creative FA story I've heard today? Rockets apparently planning to send three-truck caravan ferrying fans to their free-agent meetings

    EDIT: adding more from Stein

    @STEIN_LINE_HQ Fan-initiated plan after Rockets asked fans for ideas. Word is three tricked-out Toyota Tundras headed to Hope, ARK., to wait for itinerary

    @STEIN_LINE_HQ As we've been writing all season, Bosh is Rockets' No. 1 sign-and-trade target. If Bosh grants HOU sitdown, he'll be greeted by adoring fans

    Does it include the Indian guys stalking Yao Ming in front of his home?

    Heard about this a few days ago, but nobody knew the particulars.

    Figured it was just Morey being innovative.

    apparently its from morey's fan-initiated plan for ideas to recruit FAs? I wonder who thought of it....and if it will work

    Fans: "Welcome to Houston, Chris Bosh and Lebron James!"

    YAO: Seriously, this was not my idea.

    I think it's more about the fans then the free agents. as has been noted, this will have little to no impact on the FA signing.

    but fans that are involved will have a great time. fans that aren't involved but hear about how they're doing it will respect the organization for being so fan friendly.

    Will these fans be sponsored by Bud Light?



    This will not end well.
