The Rockets went back to the formula of their top free agent recruiting success as soon as they were permitted, with all out presentation to Atlanta Hawks free agent guard/forward Kent Bazemore, according to an individual close to Bazemore.
With the Rockets planning the same sort of pursuit for Bazemore's Hawks teammate Al Horford today, the Rockets offered Bazemore the full Dwight Howard treatment with Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, president Thad Brown, coach Mike D'Antoni, star James Harden and Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler all part of the process.
Bazemore, who turned 27 today, has multiple offers, according to an individual close to the process, and still plans to meet with several teams before reaching a decision early next week.
