2026 Dallas Mavericks Preseason

Also tough to think we might need to watch Martin for two more years on the team, right?   I don't expect that to happen though.   I don't think you could find a trade or him though.  Maybe buyout next offseason?   He did at least attempt threes last night.  So if he is taking multiple a game, you know that is a directive if you want to get on the court.

I was a bit checked out by the time ISO Martin was a thing. However, he's still the best POA defender on this team. His salary is not an issue at this time and will be an expiring next year. I don't want him getting playing time over the young guys, but I could see him having a role as a situational sub when it comes to defense for offense late in game to try and get a win. That has some value... I just view Martin as "it is what it is" right now. Not really worth talking about for me.
