so the third-year forward's reaction after being traded to the Kings was understandable. "Pretty much just frustration at first, disappointment," Patterson said Thursday. "I was sad. Those were my initial thoughts and emotions. But as time went on, I cooled off, got level-headed. Now I'm good, I'm excited." PP：「一开始我是以挫败失望的感觉来面对这件事，经过一段时间的 冷静转换心情後，我知道还是需要前往我的新东家去面对未知的未来与挑战， 我非常乐意接受这一切的到来。」 Patterson will join the Kings today along with Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas, the other players who are part of Wednesday's six-player deal that sent Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Houston Rockets. 这是6人交易 Patterson is the most notable player acquired by the Kings in a deal that will net the team $1.3 million in salary savings as well as $1 million in cash that came from the Rockets. 这笔交易有钱赚，至少可以节省$1.3 million，还有火箭 送来的$1 million现金。 Patterson was preparing to start at power forward for the Rockets against the Oklahoma City Thunder when he found out 20 minutes before tipoff that he wouldn't be in the lineup. 就在准备以先发大前锋身分面对雷霆之时，PP反而被要求离开20分钟， 後来就被告知他以不在球队的名单内了。 "I knew there was going to be a trade made, but I wasn't 100 percent sure if I was going to be in or not," Patterson said. "They told me right before the game I was traded to Sacramento." PP：「我知道这是交易的惯例模式，尽管不太确定......直到他们通告我被交易 到了另一队。」 It will be more than just a change of cities for Patterson, who goes from a playoff contender to the Kings, who are 19-36. And there's the possible sale and relocation of the team to Seattle. 这是一个改变，他要从一个季後竞争球队来到一个充满着神秘哀愁 销魂黯然锄头巴拉松斗笠的地方。 Patterson said none of that bothers him. "No, I don't think about that," Patterson said. "I've read about it, I've seen it. And I know the fans have been dealing with that. … I'm only focused on the team." PP：「我不会让什麽困扰着我，球迷也在为这件事充满各种情绪要去平缓与疏发， 了解这一切都是不可停的必然，我唯一想的就是去让球队更好。」 Patterson said the transition will be eased because he already knows some of the Kings players. He was DeMarcus Cousins' teammate at Kentucky, and he knows Chuck Hayes (who also went to Kentucky), Tyreke Evans and Isaiah Thomas. "I'm not going to be a stranger," Patterson said. "I have guys I can call friends ahead of time." PP对国王的队友并不感到陌生，像表弟就是他在肯塔基的队友， Chuck Hayes也曾是 肯塔基的球员，他也知道Tyreke Evans与Isaiah Thomas这两位。 Patterson said he plans to play "as soon as possible," but that likely won't happen before Sunday in New Orleans, after the new players take their physicals. PP希望他能尽快登场为球队效力，但还是先去体检一下吧 Patterson, who was the 14th pick in the 2010 NBA draft, likely will receive the minutes off the bench that were going to Robinson, the fifth pick in 2012. PP应该是要承接TRod过去拥有的一切 Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said Patterson is a more developed player who can help space the floor. Petrie also said Aldrich hasn't had an opportunity to play consistently since entering the league in 2010, and Douglas, who has had "significant" moments in the NBA (most coming with the New York Knicks), adds athletic ability. Petrie说PP的发展能给场上做出许多贡献，Aldrich则是很可惜一值没机会 贡献所长，Douglas过去有着很好的发展，能带给球队更多活力。」 Kings management was happy after selecting Robinson in last year's draft, saying they considered him the second-best player available, and their critics are upset he was traded during his rookie season in what is seen as a cost-saving move. Petrie很高兴能选到当初认为第二优质的球员，所以在这交易之後...... 令外界看来这只是建立在$这玩意上的交易。」 "It makes us different for sure, and the question always becomes, are we better?" Petrie said. "(But) it's not a question of giving up on Thomas." Petrie：「改变是有的，问题也总是随之而来，不过我们让出TRod原因 并非球队好坏这麽简单?」 --
