In the NBA draft conference in 2020, the Houston Rockets selected Kenyon Martin Jr., the front-line player, in the 52nd place in the second round.Then the Rockets sent Martin a 4-year contract with a total amount of 6.13 million dollars. The fourth year of the contract is the team's option.Last summer, the Rockets sent Martin to the Los Angeles Clippers and exchanged two second round tickets from the Clippers.Then the Clippers sent Martin to Philadelphia 76ers in a super big deal involving James Harden.This summer, Martin's contract with the 76ers is about to expire, and he will also become a completely free player.
After a series of teaching transactions, Martin's performance this season was not ideal, and he didn't even get too many performance opportunities.Martin has played 60 games for the Clippers and 76 people in the regular season, with an average playing time of 12.4 minutes. The average is 3.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks. His shooting percentage is 53.6%, three-point percentage is 28.6%, and free throw percentage is 53.7%.In the playoffs, Martin didn't even get a chance to play. He sat on the bench and watched the 76ers eliminated in the first round.
Judging from the current situation, the 76 players are expected to recruit aggressively in the free market this summer, and their goals will be targeted at the players.In this case, they probably won't choose to send a contract extension to Martin. From the role he played in the 76ers and the playing time he got, Martin has no reason to stay in the 76ers next season, which is not ideal for both sides.
In this case, in fact, Little Martin's old team, Rocket, can really consider making a move.Little Martin is not a player without strength. His lack of stable playing time in the 76ers is also related to the team's tactics and the personnel arrangement of coach Nick Nurse.When he gets to the Rockets, Martin can form a partner with Alperen Sengun. Shen Jing's ability to pass and respond, Martin's ability to move without the ball and his ability to finish under the basket can be perfectly compatible, and Martin's characteristics can be brought into play again.Because this season is really a mediocre season, I believe that the father of little Martin, Kenyon Martin, will not make any more adverse remarks. After all, it is not good for his son's future to make such remarks again in this case.If the Rockets can sign Martin Jr. with a 3-year contract with a total amount of 10-13 million yuan, this is definitely a good operation, and Martin Jr. can also be reborn in the Rockets.
