Trade for Martin done with playoffs squarely in mind
PHILADELPHIA – Despite current appearances, the Mavericks fully expect to be a force when the playoffs roll around.
And they took a step Tuesday to bolster their postseason swagger.
The Mavericks traded for Caleb Martin, who has been a capable rotation player for the Philadelphia 76ers this season but made his mark as a playoff dynamo in three seasons with the Miami Heat.
In 45 playoff games from 2022-24 for the Heat, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and shot 40 percent from three-point range. In the 2023 playoffs, he played in all 23 of the Heat’s games on the road to the NBA Finals and averaged 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds. He shot 42.3 percent from long range.
