K.J. Martin's time with the Philadelphia 76ers has reached its end as he has been traded to the Detroit Pistons. After signing a two-year, $16 million contract with the Sixers, Martin averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds this season before being sidelined by a foot injury. The trade comes ahead of the NBA deadline, with Martin reuniting with former teammates Tobias Harris and Paul Reed in Detroit. The deal includes two second-round draft picks, allowing the Sixers to free up salary cap space, as they were previously over the luxury tax threshold. This move positions the 76ers for potential buyout market additions and secures their future salary cap flexibility.
