I thought this was an interesting article from SI. The Rockets were 4th on the list of most popular teams for Free agents after the Lakers, Heat and the Suns (I was surprised to see the Suns).
Hopefully, we can get some good free agents like Gortat this year.
4. Houston: I was surprised several years ago when I learned how many players league-wide spend their offseasons living and working out in this steamy city. Now that the Rockets are loaded and with management that can explain in intricate detail why you're the perfect fit for their system, it's an even greater place to be in-season.
