Seven Top Free Agents The Rockets Should Acquire
*** Read the last sentence (in italics) first if you must.
Guys, this is we all know what is hurting us right now. We don't have a hall of famer on our team. Duh. And there's no reason why we shouldn't. I mean, we had Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon once and he didn't take a whole lot to get, just a draft pick. Let's go get a free agent. Here is my order. Also, why doesn't SB Nation have a "slideshow" feature on their posts, that makes posting lots better :)
1. LeBron James
LeBron "The King" James is my number one option. Who wouldn't want to have the best player in the league (SORRY KOBE) on there team! We should sign him for 100 million dollars, and if he doesn't take that, then we should sign him for 200 million dollars, because I know Les will pay that - Tom Martin says he is generous, so I bet Les will pay 400 million if he has to, right?
LeBron wud give us good playmaking and he and Yao Ming would be like the next TMac and Yao, except T-Slack isn't as good as "King James." Why would LeBron not come to Houston? I mean, WHERES HE GONNA GO THE KNICKS NO!
2. Dwayne Wade
Dwayne Wade is a great player and would work well with Kevin Martin because Martin is 6'7 so he should play small forward and we don't need Ariza chucking up shots every 2 seconds cuz that's not what he is good at but I think that we need to have Wade to give us someone else who can dunk good because that's not something we have right now how often do we make sportscenter? Never.
Dirk is a rich man's Dan Gadzuric. He is a great center and power foward, but he can also shoot - I know, because I looked at his stats. What if we paired Dirk with Yao and K-Mart and Brooks and Jermaine Taylor (NOT THE BOXER!!!!!) we would be unstoppable. Are height would be unmatched and I think that we would have the best team in the West and maybe in the whole league. Why would Dirk not work? Maybe he likes Dallas more, but prolly not.
4. Patrick Ewing
We need bigs right? Well, PATRICK EWING was one of the best ever, and he is still coaching for the Magic. Why not give him some money (like, lots of money) to come back and play with Yao? He would work out really well and would be the next Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon. COME ON DARYL MOREY YOU ARE A BOY GENIUS LIKE DAVE SAID, THIS WOULD WORK SO WELL JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!
Ok so if our first plan with the Magic doesn't work out, we can just tell Dwight to leave, because they keep losing and give him no help and we can. Just send Daryl "Boy Genius" Morey to his doorstep at 12 and it will work. Or put his number on the space shuttle or something he will love that. what a great idea!
6. Amare Stoudemire (NOT CHRIS BOSH!)
I am going to use a real article that prooves that Bosh is not like everyone says and Amare is are guy.
One can only hope that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has taken note of Stoudemire's spree.
For this isn't just a contract drive — it could the Rockets' avoid a mistake drive.
That blunder would be Chris Bosh, the Toronto Raptor All-Star forward who is still somehow on the top of Houston's free-agent wish list. The best move would still be to go insane on Dwyane Wade (especially if Morey truly believes that Yao Ming will be the Yao of old next season). But if the Rockets are fixated on getting another big, if they're that terrified of Yao's future health (and maybe they should be), at least grab the right power forward.
Bosh gets 10 times the praise Stoudemire receives while delivering one 10th of the results.
This fun-helping, Twitter king, Dallas native couldn't even push the Toronto Raptors into the playoffs — in the East. Think about that for a second. It's almost impossible not to make the playoffs in the NBA's Eastern Conference if you have one elite player. The Raptors finished 40-42 and basically choked away the last playoff spot in the East to a dysfunctional Chicago Bulls team.
So you really think Chris Bosh is anything close to a franchise player?
I HOPE DARYL "JIMMY NEUTRON BOY GENIUS!!" MOREY NOTICES THIS ARTICLE!
7. T-Mac
I think he's still got it we gave him a bad rep guys.
*None of this is real, but I swear I must have found something like this on Bleacher Report many, many times.

i've been reading this blog for approximately 2 years now
and I must say, it seems like more and more like clutchfans runoff in the comments / ridiculous fanposts. This particular entry was funny, and I get that it was meant to be (anyone that doesn’t catch the hint when it’s tagged with ‘whimsical posts’ is an idiot), but come on readers / commenters / fanpost writers. I mean, I look over and see the dumb, also-ran fanpost entries like ‘The Rockets are the best team after the lakers so far.’ I just roll my eyes now. I’m a huge Rockets fan, but let’s be intelligent about our fandom instead of huge homers about everything.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)

sometimes i seriously think its just people secretly trolling me
but then i realise they are being serious
The best trolling
Is subtle trolling. Good article but it was pretty obvious what you were doing in like 2 sentences.
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
yeah, that was the point.

can you guys
do a post on players we could potentially draft? I think the readers need more insight on the potential draftees because I keep seeing people make ignorant comments about certain players.
GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!
i will look into draft prospects soon
but yeah, this is just the result of us not being in the playoffs. We have to make ridiculous, yet quite humorous, posts like this.
I agree
I think that more of these fanposts are coming up now because there really isn’t much out there at the moment. It would suck if it continues during the season.

Nice trolling, but the reality is that we
really kinda lost all hope of getting any top tier FA when we traded T-Mac, but there still is some hope.

Tom
This was awesome. It’s a good thing you didn’t start with Carlos Boozer or else I would have stopped reading immediately and never figured out it was fake.
I have never read Bleacher Report. I probably would have stumbled upon it eventually, but your pure hatred for it has pushed me away. I do love how the Chron’s sports page has a BR widget, but it’s always the slideshows of hot women. Seems to sum them up perfectly, from what I’ve heard.
WHERES HE GONNA GO THE KNICKS NO!
I’m going to go piss myself now.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
The ghost of RyanED...
…appeared today….
Those that have read clutchfans for the past few years will know what I’m talking about.

:) That was entertaining.
I am guessing you left Boozer off because you figured Dave would bring down the banhammer. Since nothing is funny about the Jazz :)
Are we gonna get a realistic Top 7 free agents that we should acquire?
I mean, I’m all for acquiring T-Mac and Ewing but there price might be too high.
At some point, perhaps
Maybe if the other five writers around here decide to cook something up.

That Amare>Bosh
article you have linked up was a complete joke! Right up there with that rather infamous Fanhouse article.
For those of you who didn’t read it, don’t waste your time. And here’s a small quote why.
Bosh would fit right in on this current Rockets, because he’s another player who looks better the worse his team is. He’s the Aaron Brooks (another player who’s only good on a bad team) of power forwards.
AB, another player who’s only good an a bad team?? I’m not even going to get into that, my blood pressure can’t take it.
And if anything, I was disappointed in Amare’s performance against the Lakers. Dude didn’t rebound! I don’t give a shit if he’s playing against Pau and Bynum. Chuck Hayes would have gotten more rebounds than some of the piddly numbers Amare put up…averaged 6.6 rebounds in 36 MPG vs the Lakers. Give the Chuckwagon 36 MPG and he would have averaged 8.1 rebounds vs the Lakers (he averged 13 MPG and 3.0 rebounds vs the Lakers in last years playoffs.) And Amare’s got a full 4 inches and freakish athleticism on Hayes.
But anyway. Great stuff Tom. The whole Lebron section was great
We should sign him for 100 million dollars, and if he doesn’t take that, then we should sign him for 200 million dollars, because I know Les will pay that – Tom Martin says he is generous, so I bet Les will pay 400 million if he has to, right?
You could totally write for the BR!
"voted for the Jazz"
ooooh, that’s like being a pedophile – it never goes away. //grudgedave//
