Sħãlïq™ Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Clips going after Kenyon Martin: The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks are pursuing free-agent forward Kenyon Martin, according to league sources. Martin has spoken with executives from each of the clubs and is hoping to make his decision next week. The veteran of 11 NBA seasons will be eligible to sign and begin playing with a team as soon as the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers complete their season in the Chinese Basketball Association. Martin signed a $2.6 million deal with Xinjiang during the lockout, but left the team in late December in hopes of returning to the NBA. The CBA's rules, however, prohibit him from joining an NBA team until Xinjiang's season ends, whether after the regular season or the playoffs. Xinjiang is currently out of the playoffs, which means Martin could potentially sign with an NBA club when the CBA season ends Feb. 16. Martin, 34, is coming off the least productive season of his career, having averaged just 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds in Denver last year. But contenders view him as a strong and tough defender who plays unselfishly and has a winning pedigree -- Martin twice reached the NBA Finals with the New Jersey Nets.Source Would be nice to get some help on the inside. Man, would he really want to go to the Knicks...?! That team is a complete disaster. Edited January 28, 2012 by Šhãłïq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Makes a world load of sense for them, they have a really thin frontcourt. But for the Lakers sake, I hope he signs with some other team preferably out East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 This would be great!!!! Kenyon Martin is a pretty underrated player due to his age but he's still very aggressive and will bring you a lot of energy off the bench... Makes a lot of sense. You don't want Brian Cook off the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Their bigs off the bench are quite pathetic so this would be a solid move for the Clippers. Edited January 28, 2012 by ChosenOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
