Rockets Pursuing Chris Bosh - The Houston Rockets are reportedly “heavily engaged” in trying to get Chris Bosh to leave the Miami Heat via free agency, according to ESPN. Bosh is reportedly waiting on LeBron James to decide what he’s going to do, before making a decision himself. Perhaps the Rockets courting Bosh also spells that they've given up on the hope of Carmelo Anthony joining them as a free agent. Melo met with the Rockets last Wednesday. Bosh and Dwyane Wade — both represented by the same agent — will each weigh their options separately. (Photo: Mike McGinnis/CSM /Landov)

Just hours after the All-Star game, Bosh told the judge Mathis was trying to keep him from seeing his daughter.
