All times eastern. 12:01 AM: The Rockets are making an offer to Marcin Gortat in his home. “Rockets’ General Manager Daryl Morey rang the door bell at Gortat’s Orlando-area home at 12:01 AM July 1, as part of a personal gesture to express Houston’s desire to bring the big man into the fold.” [...] NBA free agency kicks off at midnight eastern time tonight and it is time to look at who will be available on the market when the clock hits 12. We will start out on a somber note. The most talked about would-be free agent over the past few weeks has been Carlos Boozer, [...] JR Smith of the Denver Nuggets has been sentenced to 90 days in prison after killing his friend in an auto accident in 2007. The 90 day sentence has since been moved down to 30. What does it take to get this guy a suspension from the NBA? Donte Stallworth just got indefinitely [...] The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded outfielder Nyger Morgan and reliever Sean Burnett – former first round pick – to the Washington Nationals for outfielder Lastings Milledge and relief pitcher Joel Hanrahan.
