Caleb Martin remains a Dallas Maverick

Martin remains with the franchise entering the 2026-27 season, but has very little role, given the makeup of the roster.

Will Caleb Martin remain with the Dallas Mavericks for the entire 2026-27 season? Look, I'm not going to lie that talking about a player this way can make me a little uncomfortable. I don't know Caleb Martin, by all accounts, he's a consummate professional and a good teammate. Some players I grow weary of and I get very aggressive when discussing their flaws or what they can't bring to a team. Not Martin. He's simply not very good and he gets paid a lot of money and he's an irregular reminder of how much of a failure Nico Harrison actually is.

One has to think Martin is the number one player the team hopes it can move. The issue is two-fold: first, he makes a decent amount of money (he's making $10 millon this year and just under that for his player option next year), but not so much that it's impossible to move. Rather, he seems to have hit his absolute ceiling as a player with the Miami Heat before signing with the 76ers in 2024.
