Philadelphia 76ers forward KJ Martin had to clear the air to Rockets fans on Tuesday.
As the former Rocket stumbled across some conversation about his time with the team, Martin wanted to clear the air.. “He had nothing to do with it. He has his own opinion to say what he wants like everyone else does. It was strictly NBA business on why I got traded. Nothing more, nothing less!”
For three seasons, Martin competed with the Rockets, earning immediate playing time and having a steady role throughout his tenure there. Last summer, Martin received a change of scenery for the first time since entering the NBA. Looking back, Martin makes it clear the trade wasn’t a matter of him forcing his way out because he disliked Houston and the Rockets’ organization.. “Things happen in the NBA, and you have to move on to different situations with other teams and figure it out.
Martin looked forward to getting a fresh start with the LA Clippers after getting traded for two second-round picks last summer. He ended up with just two appearances on the Clippers. For the first time in his career, Martin is set to hit the free agency market this summer. It’s unclear if the Sixers will prioritize retaining the 23-year-old forward or not. Either way, Martin’s experience should help him find a group of suitors in free agency.
