What would be your qualifier for a trade?

Yes it is, but I still think Minny would bite. 31-year old Kevin Martin clearly does not fit into their rebuilding plans. It saves them $2.5 million this year and gives them two expiring contracts and gets them out of the last two years and $14.5 million of Martin's contract. Maybe they ask for a future draft pick too, but I think they'd be tempted to do it anyway just to move Martin's contract.

The question then becomes, is Martin good enough for Olshey to abandon the cap flexibility he's worked so hard to create for next summer. Is Kevin Martin a needle mover? He'd certainly give us another legitimate scoring threat off the bench and can back up both Wes and Nic (for short stretches). A shorter 8-man rotation of the starters + Kaman, Blake and Marin would look good in the playoffs.

Question: Does it improve the team?

If the answer is yes, then you trade whoever it takes
