休城的头号得分手在周一说，他的左肩发现关节炎并需要在本赛季结束后进行手术。他还提到他左膝的伤势恢复得比做手术时的预期要慢。
麦蒂是在3月24日与国王的比赛中扭伤肩部的，在整个余下的赛季中，他都依靠护具的保护来继续比赛。在5月时他做了一次手术来清除肩部和膝盖的疏松组织。他说他的膝盖目前大概恢复到百分之75到80的程度，完全恢复需要再等待2个月。
麦蒂说是一次MRI检查发现了他肩膀的关节炎。
“这是我这个赛季必须要面对的事情，”麦蒂（上赛季场均21.6分，入选NBA第三队）说，“我的膝盖在揭幕战那天应该没有问题。”
麦蒂说膝伤不会影响他的训练和比赛，但是他也补充说：“这多少有些困扰我。”
在周二，火箭进行了一次训练，这是阿泰自从8月由国王交易到火箭后首次参加训练。上赛季火箭的常规赛战绩为55胜27负，但是连续第六年在季后赛首轮失利。
阿泰的到来增加了攻防两端的多样性，一个可以锁死任何锋卫的防守者，同时也是一个进攻手段丰富，可以缓解姚麦进攻压力的得分手。
上赛季阿泰场均得分20.5，篮板5.8另有3.5次助攻，但是他那不可捉摸的行为同样声名远扬。他永远无法回避在2004年9月奥本山宫殿，他对球迷的暴行使他成为了丑闻的主角，而在来火箭之前，他与国王也长期不和。
今年28岁的阿泰在周一表示，他已经是个成熟的人，不论在场上还是场下。当前有一个大好良机，一展宏图的机会，他会懂得克制自己的情绪。
“我很高兴能在一个有机会获得胜利的球队打球，”阿泰说。“这让人有了更多争取的动力。我在这种情况下会变得很饥渴，我很喜欢为某些东西而战的感觉。而今年我的确是有战斗的目标。”
休斯敦另一个让人重点关注的是他们逐渐团结在主教练阿德尔曼的身边。阿德尔曼在国王曾指导过阿泰一个赛季。对此，阿泰说他还没有发现一个球员与阿德相处得不和谐，也没有人会不喜欢他独特的进攻体系(Free-flowing offensive system）。
阿 德尔曼希望能看到阿泰和麦蒂同时在场上比赛，使得火箭在两翼都能威胁对手。“他们给我带来了一个和崔西相似的家伙。他可以用背身单打蹂躏体型较小的对手， 也能够靠运球来摆脱防守，”阿德说。“崔西是一个伟大的传球者，而蓉蓉在这方面同样不差。对于我们来说，重大的挑战是如何让他们能配合起来，以及如何让他 们和姚鱼水相容。”
当姚在2月脚伤休赛期间，麦蒂承担了更多的进攻压力。在过去的8个赛季中，他的平均得分超过了21，但是在7次季后赛之旅中都止步于第一轮。
有了阿泰，他终于可以在进攻端找到一个完美的帮手。
“我知道我因为没法带领球队在季后赛中前进而受人非议，”麦蒂说。“当你缺少那些能够助你提升的拼图时，这是一件很困难的事情。而现在拼图来了，我们可以走着瞧。”
阿泰还可以扮演上赛季巴蒂尔的角色，防守对面的箭头人物。阿泰说上赛季在国王他被要求多得分，教练（指国王队教练Reggie Theus）允许他在防守端放点小水来保持体力。
“我认为我现在可以做出更强硬的防守，”阿泰说。“我总是想去防守最好的球员，但是教练不会让我一直都这么干，因为我还有得分的任务。今年，我可以全身心的投入到防守中去，我已经有好些年没享受到这样的乐趣了。”
阿泰表示他会很开心的接受阿德交给他的任何角色。他还补充说交易还没结束他就已经激情澎湃。
“当下的球队，不可思议，空前绝后，”他说。“这种快感无时不在，似乎永远无法减弱。我到现在还很激动，夏天的训练给了我足够的信心，我知道我已经准备好了迎接一个伟大的赛季。”

McGrady says shoulder arthritic, knee slow to heal
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Rockets, buzzing about the arrival of Ron Artest, already have injury concerns with Tracy McGrady.
Houston's leading scorer said Monday that his left shoulder is arthritic and will require surgery after this season. He also said his left knee is healing slower than expected from surgery in the spring.
McGrady sprained his shoulder against Sacramento on March 24, and wore padding to protect it for the rest of the season. He had surgery in May to clear loose tissue in his shoulder and knee. He said his knee is "probably 75-80 percent" healthy and will take another two months to fully heal.
McGrady said an MRI revealed the arthritis in his shoulder.
"That's something I've got to deal with again this season," said McGrady, who averaged 21.6 points last season and was selected third-team all-NBA. "My knee should be ready to go by opening night."
McGrady said the shoulder injury was not going to keep him out of practices or games, but added that, "it's going to bother me."
On Tuesday, the Rockets hold their first practice with Artest after picking him up in an August trade with Sacramento. Houston went 55-27 last season, but lost in the first round of the playoffs for the sixth straight year.
Artest adds versatility on both ends — a lockdown defender who can match up with guards or forwards and a multidimensional scorer who should take some of the offensive burden off McGrady and Yao Ming.
Artest averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season, but he's still known as much for his unpredictable behavior as his basketball skills. He'll never shed the notoriety as the central figure in the November 2004 brawl with fans at The Palace of Auburn Hills and he feuded with Kings management this summer before the Rockets acquired him.
The 28-year-old Artest said Monday that he's matured, on and off the court, and will keep his emotions in check because of the golden opportunity in front of him.
"I'm grateful to be on a team that has a chance to win," he said. "It adds extra motivation, extra 'go-get-it.' I kind of thrive under those situations. I like when I have something to play for. This year, I really do have something to play for."
One of the main attractions in coming to Houston was reuniting with Rick Adelman, who coached Artest for one season in Sacramento. Artest said he's never known a player who didn't get along with Adelman or like his free-flowing offensive system.
Adelman wants to see Artest and McGrady play together, giving the Rockets scoring threats on the wings.
"He gives us a guy, similar to Tracy, in that he can post up smaller people, he can take people off the dribble," Adelman said. "Tracy is a great passer, Ron will be a good passer. That's going to be our main challenge, working those two guys together, and see where they fit with Yao on the floor, too."
McGrady had to handle more of the offensive load when Yao broke his left foot in late February. He's averaged more than 21 points for the last eight seasons, but is 0-7 in playoff series.
In Artest, he may have finally found the perfect offensive complement.
"I know I get criticized a lot for not leading my team out of the playoffs," McGrady said. "It's hard when you don't have those pieces that you need to elevate you to that next level. Now, I have that and we'll see what happens."
Artest can also step into the role Shane Battier played for the Rockets last season, defending the opposing team's top scorer. Artest said he was asked to score more for the Kings last season and that coach Reggie Theus told him to ease up on defense to conserve energy.
"I think I can play a little harder on defense now," he said. "I always wanted to guard the best player. Coach wouldn't let me guard the best player all the time, because I had to score also. This year, I can go all-out on defense. I haven't had that joy in a couple of years."
Artest said he will happily accept whatever role Adelman gives him. He added that the enthusiasm since the trade hasn't worn off.
"This team right here, this team can be unbelievable," he said. "It's been an all-time high and it's kind of stayed there. I'm still excited. I prepared this summer and that's given me enough confidence, knowing I've prepared to have a great season."
