The new NBA season begins tomorrow morning, Taiwan time. Many are eager to see if Jeremy Lin can repeat his breakout season with his new team, the Houston Rockets. He’ll have help. The Rockets recently traded for star James Harden.
The Rockets surprised many by executing a major trade just three days before the start of the new NBA season. They sent shooting guard Kevin Martin to the Thunder in exchange for talented guard James Harden. Many Rocket fans have cheered this move, bringing the big bearded player to their team which had previously lacked star talent.
James Harden
Rockets Guard
It happened pretty fast. I was at dinner and Sam Presti called me and said that I had been traded to the Rockets. I was kind of in shock but at the same time it’s a business you know. I feel great and I feel comfortable and in a great position.
The Thunder had been discussing a contract extension for Harden, offering him a four-year US$53 million dollar deal. Harden was unwilling to accept the offer, leaving the Thunder with little choice to part ways with their guard. With just a few days left in the pre-season, Harden joined the Rockets and will be paired with Jeremy Lin.

We have a great point guard and that makes the game a lot easier when you have a leader who can do it all. I’m excited to play with him.
In the upcoming NBA season, Jeremy Lin will find himself paired with James Harden in the backcourt. Many are hoping this will be the start of a solid season for the Rockets who have substantially upgraded their roster this offseason.
大聯盟球季剛結束，NBA的新球季將在台灣時間星期三開始，就要由上一季的總冠軍隊伍熱火，以及西區勁旅湖人隊分頭出擊，點燃新球季的戰火，而台灣球迷一定會關注的焦點，就是擁有林書豪的火箭隊，火箭在新賽季開打之前做出了大交易，把球隊的主力得分球星凱文馬丁交易到雷霆，換來上個賽季的最佳第六人哈登。
計畫永遠趕不上變化，就是火箭隊現在的模樣，三天前NBA的專家們還忙著解釋，讓Kevin Martin當火箭的中心比較好，結果抽不冷的就被賣掉，現在火箭的中心，變成有個大鬍子，又很驚訝的這個人。

這發生的很快 我正在吃晚飯時，接到通知說我被交易到火箭了，當然 我有點震驚但同時這只是生意，我感覺很好 我也很舒服，能夠處在很棒的位置
由於雷霆最多只能開出四年5300萬美金，在哈登不願接受的情況下，雷霆只好施以快刀，趕在開季前，把最佳第六人給處理掉，來到火箭隊，跟林書豪配對。

我們有很棒的後衛 而這是為什麼，能夠讓比賽變容易的原因，就是你擁有了能做到這些的領導者，所以我很興奮能跟他(林書豪)同隊
所以新球季，林書豪加上哈登，己經邁向了重建的第一步，而NBA的新球季將在台灣時間星期三開始，由熱火戰湖人隊，點燃新球季的戰火。
