    I think this touching and in depth conversation (from China's fans' perspective) in MS translator says it all ....

    " I think Martin ball positioning with point projecting a bit of being underestimated; Maybe he was finally made after Kobe and Wade foul point guard;"
    " This quarter after Maynor return, Harden some alternate organizational responsibilities is allowing Maynor to bear; Maynor's organizational skills, coupled with Martin ball positioning capability; Accompanied by Ibaka, Perkins, Collinson a front wall; Thunder bench remains the envy of the offensive firepower of fire continued"
    " Defensive end Martin as Harden is Kobe the fake, task of defending Kobe has always been Sefolosha carried last year, Durant has join the ranks of anti-blocking Kobe"
    "I have always believed that Thunder do this transaction is great; Not Harden to get contracts for overpaid investment threatened to lose; But Harden told two people exchange for Lamb, Tyrannosaurus five seniority protection before the first round of checks, calf's first round of checks, as well as a second round of checks may also be extremely high (Bobcat)"
    "Enough for a team challenge champion, also has so much chips added young new blood; I think it is really a great deal; Even when Martin-running than expected, still have the opportunity to transfer before the trading deadline, after all, his contract expires in the summer, is definitely a very good resale contracts; Jeremy Lamb has enough potential to become this class goalscorer Martin; Fall is definitely a strike of layouts to keep
    Also talk about rocket Thunder deals.
    Thunder honey, bad mood is, think this season is likely to lose a final opportunity, especially now against the Lakers, basically only the Thunder in the West (Perkins is the most against Howard player on this planet).
    Harden was lost, half positional warfare meant that Thunder lost its first Commander. Durrant wall cut out ball attack, ibaka of the CIC, many of them from passing. Marcia gay harden, in addition to technology (+ European breakthrough third of demon, and CIC short boards), and team roles--the third attack option, half positional warfare Commander, take pick and roll organization attacking, defensive-end manufacturing offensive fouls. Marcia gay harden less, means that the second team to lose the lead, key tug-of-war, as playoff togeth lost harden was fatal to them.
    But if think that Hadden does not renew mean Merlot exist, that it's actually not so bad. Merlot powder may also be said that harden significantly grow in the previous year thanks in Merlot claims. Conscience, Merlot personal abilities compared to harden, but in-line attack, crash, led the second lineup on several aspects, he did no more than harden a lot worse.
    Martin came to the Thunder is not a bad thing, today's Union is best at wall ball, and then quickly get rid of manufacturing opportunities, Durrant, of course, top and Martin will certainly follow. Thunder over the years has evolved into one of the best wall cover manufacturing team (10-Ron Artest said), while Martin manufactured the beholder in the three-point line than too much hadengqiang. But neither he nor Durrant output needs to fire the ball players, compatibility is not a major problem. Only need to worry about most is generally work to pass tactical firepower of artillery, transferring, by Wei now much less--but Wei-what are the disadvantages of less, everybody out.
    Overall, the deal makes Thunder salary structures more health, and finally determine the lineup for the next 4-5 years. After all, as demonstrated by the playoffs, they'll have to keep Perkins + Eibar card which the Defense portfolio."

    "Rockets pre-season testifies, were immediately on the offensive side by Lin Shuhao carry teams, he was a little too much, and the significance of the deal have a lot: share a forest of pressure; the team with a pair of Defender will start using the pick and roll offense.
    But the downside is, they must have a need to give up the ball, and they have lost the past few years the most stable of outside firepower exporter Martin.
    First have to solve is how to assign two people right to the ball, the forest may be required to do more without the ball out, then quickly get rid of manufacturing of the beholder. If Mike Haier can enrich two Pick-and-roll, so that when they are strong or weak-side can be manufactured to an opponent "who on Earth against two people" problem, that is the essence of the deal.
    Sorry, rum, rockets fans have to pray about it and he does not become another guy."
    In addition, Marcia gay Harden's real strength, and former "small, leaving Nash" and now "left the Celtic system of lung" as mysterious. Now harden left has Durrant and Wei less, from three headed to big headed, on as McGrady left has Carter, and Bryant left has Neill, and Jo Johnson left has Sun, some people destined to is shallow water trapped can't of Dragon, some people destined to in other wings asylum Xia to glow, on harden,, future is contour now also not know how painted, only can determines of is, this process does not easily Freehand.Rocket pursuit like a goddess n a long time like the male genital organ, experienced a shameful Warcraft goddess Paul of "good cards" post, finally, when Davis, ushered in the abandoned harden, NIMA cultivation is going to harden when bin Laden, and Al-Qaida is responsible for last year's top new?
    "Alas, the first episode for a replacement."
    "This is the rocket's habit "
    "I'm sorry, the rockets have hit your face
    "Analysis of good I LOVE u "
    *he falls in a faint*

    Artest was part of a gutsy, tough and hard working Rockets team that FINALLY won a playoff series and pushed the Lakers to 7.

    He was real, he called out tracy on tracy's effort, he played hurt, he met fans in the local hangouts.

    Hopefully Harden will be real like Ron did for that year.

    It wasn't just Artest, it was a lot of factors surrounding the whole team and NBA that made it big. Seeing that photo makes me realise again how far we are from potentially sniffing the Conference Finals. Even with Tracy, that was a damn good team.

    This time, it's a bit surreal, 2 days before the start of the season and after everybody's tired of waiting we get a new guy. If this was around the draft or August / September like Artest, it would've been bigger. People could've warmed up to the change and now we have to learn about James on the fly.
    Also with Artest, it was all about Artest coming to Houston, with Harden it's about Harden leaving OKC. Big difference.

    I also think fans shouldn't get their hopes up, getting Harden is good for the future and winning a bit more games than with Martin. Of course I hope he can be the man and the guys all click but there's still a lot of ifs surrounding him and other Rockets' to know how this will pan out.

    It almost did. T-Mac never made it, and Yao's foot broke down in Game 3 of the Lakers series and we still took the them to Game 7.

    McGradys press conference was a whole lot bigger and carried on television.

    It was so big, they had it in the arena. It filled sections 113 and 114. Basically, all the baseline section.

    Artest was in the lobby. All the people in the upper suite, are rocket staff members. I was there. I saw my hat in the photos.
