It's obvious how DAL would be motivated -- they would be swapping Martin at 10-ish for Robinson (to be waived at 5-ish) and DP (minimum).
DET is a bit iffier. They would move from 16 to 10, but they could alternately move from 16 all the way to 2 by simply waiving Robinson, then sign him back at the minimum or sign someone else at the minimum and be way better off financially than they would be by doing the DAL deal. And if they resign him, they retain shooting they badly need. The question is whether they would rather spend more so they can have Martin. (I doubt it, but I am biased against Martin, so not a fair judge of what his value might be.)
But I like and hope they have somehow found a taker for Martin.
Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard for Detroit to move on from Robinson, as much as they need 3pt shooting. Martin doesn't offer them that.
