There is a high probability that it is an S&T as in Strus. An athletic 3&D who has proven himself in the playoffs. He lost the East's best player award by 1 vote lol Who wants him and what gives it?

Yeah. If Miami signs and trades Martin away and receives a player contract in return, they’d hard cap themselves at the second apron for next season, which would seem problematic for them?

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I think he either agrees to resign at a bargain rate or he's gone. I don't see a sign and trade as really being an option.
