It may be time for Kevin Martin to go in Minnesota.
I expanded a little bit a few weeks ago about how Martin doesn’t necessarily fit into the Timberwolves scheme going forward. After being put back into the starting lineup, Martin had continued to struggle. He is averaging just under 11.9 points per game and shooting under 35 percent from the field.
We already know that Martin does not fit in long-term with this team, and it’s becoming more and more obvious by the day. He hasn’t been able to do his same old tricks and he is just plain struggling so far this season.
That being said, I have formulated some realistic deals using the ESPN Trade Machine on what the Wolves could get for Martin. I have also included why it’s a good deal for both teams. So let’s get speculating, shall we?
