    Heres what i sent. What do yall think

    Marcin we could really use you here in houston. We all love your game and the Rockets have the best fans in the league and heres a website to prove it www.clutchfans.net the people in the forums including me all think your the missing piece to the puzzle of the Rockets bringing back the tittle to H-Town!!! Come to Houston and help us dethrone those Fakers that we took to 7 games and would have most likely beat if Yao was healthy.
    We also love cars here in Houston and we all would love to see your BMW cruising or speeding through the Houston streets :)

    Just sent the email, if thats all i can do to help the Rockets.
    Dear Mr. Gortat,

    Houston would love to have you in Red and white, we think with your help we could be pushed to the upper echelon and be championship contenders, we all saw what you did during the regular season, playoffs and finals and we would love for you to be a part of our organization. Hope all is well and congrats for deep post season run. Hope to see you at Toyota center in Red.

    Rockets' General Manager Daryl Morey rang the door bell at Gortat's Orlando-area home at 12:01 AM July 1 - otherwise known as the beginning of the free agent frenzy - as part of a personal gesture to express Houston's desire to bring the big man into the fold. The Rockets have had Gortat on their radar screen since the midway point of the '08-09 season, when they - like many around the league - noticed the 25-year old post player regularly flashing his potential in the paint.

    You'd be joining an upper echelon franchise Marcin, the coaching, management, city, fans, and big time car dealerships and night scene are ready to welcome you with open arms. We'd love to have you and hope you will consider. Thank you.

    I emailed him the dorkiest message. Hope his English isn't too good. Maybe he'll just figure that he has fans on the Rockets already and move on to signing a contract.

    Hope that the Magic throw money at Hedo and won't have much left for gortat.

    And Morey will certainly hint to Gortat that the starting C job maybe his to lose because of Yao's uncertainty.

    I'm beginning to think there's more to it then meets the eye on the timing of this revelation about Yao.

    I like Gortat, but i would rather pursue a guy like Deandre Jordan or Marc Gasol via trade because they will save the mle.

    So you rather go after 2 players that are hard to get, instead of use the MLE?

    Good Logic

    Dear Mr. Gortat:

    As I had hoped, the Rockets are pursuing you as their top free agent target. I have been a Rockets fans since I was a kid and have always loved this team. I’m hoping that as you pursue your next contract that you choose our team as your next destination. As you heard, Yao Ming has a possible career ending injury. It seems that Yao won’t play this year according to reports. I think you would fit our team perfectly since you have a few qualities that make you a very intriguing prospect plus a possible fan favorite. Our team needs someone who is dedicated and will play defense. We have a no tolerance policy on not allowing lay-ups (just ask Artest). Your defensive instincts are very good. The reason I like you as a player is because you are well trained in fundamentals meaning blocking out and getting rebounds and not jumping everytime your opponent hopes to bait you into a pump fake. Also, your offensive ability would allow this team to be a lot better in transition game. Along with Luis Scola, you would fit our frontcourt very well since both of you can run the court quite well for big men. Most importantly, the dedication and love you have for the game of basketball make you a perfect team for a team that is willing to sacrifice their body for an extra possession.

    Mr. Gortat, I hope you not only consider the Rockets but that you sign. We need a center and you fit the mold of the type of players this city looks for in Rockets basketball.
