Kenyon Martin is expected to decide by this weekend which NBA team he’ll join.

 

The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks have expressed interest in signing Martin.

 

Martin signed with Xinjiang Gyang Hui of the Chinese Basketball Association, but has since returned to the United States. He’s not eligible to sign with an NBA team until Xinjiang’s season ends, which could be as soon as Feb. 16.

 

“He’s a veteran guy who knows how to win at a high level and in a playoff environment,” one NBA general manager said. “He also plays multiple positions. If you get him to a situation where he can be an Antonio McDyess-type of guy, that’s a heck of a guy to add to your roster.”

Why Miami? I don't see him doing that. He can't really play the five, and he won't get any minutes behind Bosh and Haslem.

you can still play with Bosh at 5 or Haslem at 5 some of the time

If Joel Anthony, who is no taller than 6'7'' and can't rebound, can play center, then K-Mart can. Bosh and Haslem get virtually all the other minutes at center, and neither of them are more capable than Martin at center, either.

After China failed to respond to request for Letter of Clearance for Kenyon Martin, FIBA made surprising decision to grant it, sources say.

Belief was China wouldn't issue OK to let KMart play in NBA until Chinese season was done; FIBA ruled it OK in last 24 hours, sources say.

Kenyon Martin is on visit to Atlanta today, intrigued w/ significant role he could play w/ Hawks, sources say. Clips, Heat high on list too.

Because of FIBA clearance, KMart selection process will move faster, sources say. Scenario: Weekend decision, physical w/ team on Monday.

I heard he's going to land with the Clippers for one year which could be great for him since the Clippers have a lot of talent right now but also for the team. He could really bring that veteran spirit and that aggressiveness to backup Blake Griffin
