    Up for the challenge

    After a long offseason spent training with longtime personal coach David Thorpe, Martin not only is fully recovered from the wrist injury and a left ankle sprain/bruise that occurred early in the 2008-09 season and still hindered him last season, he also put in more work in the weight room and tweaked his shooting form.

    "He worked hard, but the biggest thing is he is totally healthy and back to being a really, really athletic player," Thorpe said. "He looked like a 21-year-old the way he was running and jumping and sprinting. The results were phenomenal. He never shot like this. He never had a better summer shooting the ball than this summer. I'm more hopeful than I ever have been before about him shooting the 3.

    "He wants to be an All-Star, wants to be one of the best shooting guards in the league. He knows he has things to improve. He knows he has to stay healthy. He's not afraid of the challenge."

    Surprises in store

    More than that, Martin said he and the Rockets will surprise people.

    "I'm very confident in the makeup of our team now to do damage in the playoffs, not just get there," Martin said. "I've never been more motivated than this summer, with Yao coming back and a new team. We're primed to take off."

    Still, the rumors persist, to the point that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told Martin he is not looking to deal him.

    "We talked in general about the future," Morey said. "For sure, we're certainly not looking to trade anybody on the team right now.

    "We feel like we have a very good team, and we're very excited about it. It's just the reality of my job that when any top player becomes available, I have to look at it. But … I really worry that players take something negative from that. I would like to avoid that."

    Martin does not seem to mind.

    "That's just part of the business, especially with somebody like (Anthony)," Martin said. "Of course my name is going to come up with his name. You look at that as a compliment. You stop looking at it as a compliment when they're talking about trading you for a second-round pick in 2016."
    I have a feeling we're going to have an eye opening 2010-2011.

    I wouldn't try to convince most on ST of that. Just let the season play out and when our team is kicking their team in the ass, I guarantee you that statement will make a little more sense to them.

    I seem to remember Rocketfan said this year when everyone laughed at you idiots for saying they'd make the playoffs.

    lol delusional Rocketfan thinking their team is going somewhere and that they're some group of high IQ'ed studs who think Morey is a genius

    Key word being healthy. Sucks that our injured center was also our superstar. The biggest weakness on the team.

    Shut the up you stupid sack of minority . Anyone with a semi-functional brain knew Yao wouldn't make it more than a few weeks before reinjuring himself. It's your own in fault for coming up with re ed "If the 7'6" piece of sh*t stays healthy" hypotheticals.

    Les Alexander knew what Yao's foot problems were before he drafted him, and he did it anyway. Yao was done A LONG time ago, now we don't have this hanging over our head anymore. He retires, we move on. Build through the draft

    What's worse is Yao doesn't have one quarter in any of his suit pockets
