"Martin signed a four-year, $32 million deal with Philadelphia in the 2024 offseason, although Miami wanted him back. He spent half a season with the Sixers, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, before he was traded to Dallas for Quentin Grimes. At that point, he was dealing with a hip strain, which led the Mavericks to amend the deal and receive a second-round pick."
"It was another mistake made by Nico Harrison, not nearly as big as the one that he made when he traded Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, but still one that hasn't aged well. Martin wasn't at his best - or close to it - when Dallas traded for him, and he hasn't been able to recover to his usual self."
"If Dallas could, it would trade him before the Feb. 5 deadline, but he has no value. The Mavericks aren't in a position to waive-and-stretch his contract, either. You have to imagine that they'll find a way to offload his contract sometime over the next couple of years, though. It's also hard to imagine that he'll continue to shoot as poorly as he has been."
Caleb Martin is producing career-low numbers with the Dallas Mavericks, averaging 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 10.1 minutes while shooting 36.1% from the field and 13.3% from three. He signed a four-year, $32 million deal with Philadelphia in 2024 and was later traded to Dallas for Quentin Grimes while dealing with a hip strain, prompting an amended deal that yielded a second-round pick. Martin has three seasons remaining and a $9.4 million player option for 2027-28 that he is likely to pick up. The Mavericks have limited options to move the contract now, though his shooting could improve.
