Milwaukee Bucks are looking to improve their perimeter defense and are secretly negotiating a trade for Caleb and Cody Martin, the twin brothers. The reports, from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, indicate that the Bucks are considering both of the Martins, whose salaries would be cheaper than that of Pat Connaughton's $9.4 million, in return for a deal that would send Connaughton.
Caleb Martin's Role in the 76ers Rotation with 30.4 Minutes Per Game
Forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, 6'5" Caleb Martin has been playing up to snuff this season. He is averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He’s proven to be a trusted scorer at a shooting percentage of 43.5%. He’s taken on his role at that end of the floor across 31 games, averaging around 30.4 minutes per game.
Cody Martin's Performance Over 39 Games and Its Impact on the Team
Forward Cody Martin, 6'6", has been the rocks for a passing Charlotte Hornets team all season long. In 70 games with the MAGIC, he is averaging 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He’s been a man of dependable shooting percentage of 43.3%. He has averaged around 24.8 minutes on the court over 39 games and has been a vital player in the team’s setup over 39 games.
Bucks Trade Scenario Involves Acquiring Martin Brothers for Defensive Boost
The Bucks, within the context of getting more players who can help provide some much needed defense on the wings, are looking at the Martin brothers. The guys are fantastic defensively and can adapt, and that’s exactly what the team needs. Plus, their contracts are very friendly, so they are probably worth getting a trade for.
One trade idea floating around is the Bucks acquiring Cody Martin and Nick Richards from the Charlotte Hornets, with Luke Kennard and MarJon Beauchamp heading to Charlotte. The Bucks would strengthen their defensive game and the Hornets would get much needed shooting skills with this swap.
With the trade deadline looming, the Milwaukee Bucks are seeking to add more to its roster. To really help their championship aspirations, adding either Caleb or Cody Martin would help greatly to add depth and boost the defense. The fans eagerly can watch how the trade talks play out in the coming days.
