I think this is good for both teams. It is good for OKC because Martin is a better scorer and shooter than Harden imo.
It better Houston because if Lin struggles at point they can have Harden @ point and move Lin at shooting guard if they use that setup.

Umm Martin played more minutes for the same amount of points on 5 more shots per game. A 41% shooter is nowhere near the level of a 49% shooter and Martin doesn't get to the line as much anymore.
Martin cannot hold Harden's jock and Harden is 23 years old. There really is no comparison. Harden is the best young SG in the NBA right now.
