Sign on the dotted line.
A deal between Kenyon Martin and the L.A. Clippers could happen within the next few days according to our sources at the L.A. Times. Apparently, they are prepared to offer the veteran forward the mini-mid-level exception of $2.5 million. Of course, there are other interested parties including the Miami Heat, L.A. Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks. But what makes this interesting is Martin more recently met with Clips head coach Vinny Del Negro and GM Neil Olshey. I'm sure they wined and dined, but no reports of official offers as of press time.
Martin averaged 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds last season in 48 games with the Denver Nuggets. Over the past few months, he's played for Xinjiang in China, although he left the team in December he won’t be eligible to play in the NBA until after the Chinese season ends, which could be as early as Feb. 16.
Martin’s agent, Andy Miller, has said that he expects his client to make a decision by this weekend.
