With 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds on average, Kenyon Martin Jr. was one of the few satisfactions in Houston and as his rookie contract ends in 2023/2024, with a final season at $1.9 million, he represents very good value for money. interesting.
It is for this reason that the Clippers made a nice move by managing to recover it against only two second rounds of the Draft. But according to The Athletic, the Los Angeles franchise was not the only one to have the son of the former Nets player in its sights. Indeed, the Warriors also considered a transfer of Kenyon Martin Jr. at the start of the market opening.
The Californians had the possibility of bringing him in via the “trade exception” obtained thanks to the departure of Patrick Baldwin Jr. to Washington, in the exchange of Jordan Poole. But our colleagues add and conclude that the discussions never succeeded. It is still a sign that the Warriors were looking to rejuvenate the workforce, and to bring athletic qualities to the exteriors, with a player very comfortable on the counter-attack.
