HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Rockets have come up with a unique pitch to lure the big-name free agents hitting the market this week.
General manager Daryl Morey sent off a caravan of Rockets fans in pickup trucks from the Toyota Center on Monday for a road trip expected to end in the city where Morey will meet with one of Houston’s primary free agent targets.
The fans, taken from a group of season ticket holders called the Red Rowdies, will begin their journey in Hope, Ark., an aptly named starting point reflecting the Rockets’ mission once free agency opens on Thursday. The plan is for the caravan to meet up with Morey in an undisclosed city, then deliver him to a meeting with one of Houston’s big free agent targets.
