MAVS NEWS:

Why is Martin seen as useless?  Nico paid Grimes and a 2nd for him, with nothing occurring since to change his value.  Nico can't be *that* bad, right?

I haven't seen a more useless player for the Mavs in quite some time. 

I mean, Martin CAN be useful. He's shown as much in his other stops. But frankly, I don't think he wants to be here. His camp signaled how much he didn't want to be traded in Philly. He took his sweet time coming back from an injury. He hasn't seemed particularly enthused as well given the 2 months he was a player here, the fans were revolting. 


But even when he is 100% healthy, I don't see why Nico traded for him as a player. He can't shoot. He can't create for himself. He's not a particular creator for others. He is a fantastic defender, but even then that alone is not worth almost 10 mil with his trade kicker. 

The only thing I can surmise is that Nico just did not want to negotiate this summer with Grimes and they valued the fixed cost Martin provided. Given how inept he is as a negotiator, that can be seen as a good thing. It's also a bad thing because Nico's lack of brain matter led to trading for Martin in the first place.

I am so ready to just trade him to any team for a 2nd round pick. I don't see him being worth much more.
