The Houston Rockets have a simple message for the potential free agent big three of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.
The Rockets offer a title contending landing spot for either of the three star free agents looking championships to the resume. Sam Amick of USA Today is reporting that the Rockets and GM Daryl Morey plan to be very aggressive in free agency.

He’s hoping to get some help when free agency begins July 1 and some of the biggest names in the game – from LeBron James to Carmelo Anthony and right on down the line – are pitched on the proposition of joining Howard and James Harden in Houston. The organization’s recruiting efforts will be aggressive and expansive as always, just as they were when they landed Howard last July and his decision to leave Los Angeles meant the Rockets had two-thirds of the Big Three that they had envisioned. Now comes Part III of their plan.
Houston would need to move Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin, while likely allowing Chandler Parsons to walk as a restricted free agent. The Rockets will pitch stability to free agents along with the enjoyment of no state tax. James and Bosh are used to the in Florida, but Anthony could recoup some of the money lost by bolting the Knicks.
