Potential trade: Josh McRoberts and Chris Andersen for Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin is in an odd place in Minnesota. At age 32, he’s not in the same group as worn out veterans Kevin Garnett, Andre Miller and Tayshaun Prince and he’s certainly not with young, rising stars Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns and Zach LaVine.

The focus on the Wolves has shifted to the youngsters. Guards Ricky Rubio, Shabazz Muhammad and LaVine’s increased playing time has resulted in a decline in minutes for Martin. The 12-year pro undoubtedly still has it in him as he averaged 20 points a game last season and has a 38% career three-point average. Martin belongs on a playoff bound team and no better match sticks out more than with the Heat. Martin would bring another offensive boost next to Green off the bench and reduce Dwyane Wade’s workload throughout games.
