Caleb Martin turned down $65 million contract from Heat, signed for $32 million with Sixers instead
Ira Winderman: Per multiple NBA sources: Caleb Martin had turned down a five-year, $65 million extension ahead of free agency, one that would have required him to opt into the final year on his Heat contract by last Saturday’s deadline. That offer no longer was possible once he opted out.

The Sixers’ newly revamped rotation:
Starters = Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George, Caleb Martin, Joel Embiid
Second Unit = Jared McCain, Eric Gordon, Andre Drummond
Philadelphia will continue to be active on the veteran’s minimum market to round out their depth. pic.twitter.com/bpKxTkwc04 – 11:14 AM

The reporting around Caleb Martin is what I thought made the most sense (and said on the pod this week)
Heat offered Martin a contract that would have required him to pick up his $7.1M player option but included a significant raise going forward. Martin turned it down. – 11:10 AM

When the dust settles, Philadelphia will be a good case study on maximizing cap space.
By Tyrese Maxey not extending last offseason, Philadelphia was able to sign Paul George, Andre Drummond and Caleb Martin with room.
Kelly Oubre Jr. will be signed with the room exception. – 11:07 AM

Heat made a very good offer to Caleb Martin before free agency. When Martin’s 76ers salary leaks, we will know how they compare. Miami could not make similar offer after free agency started because it would have involved Martin opting in with much bigger salaries in subsequent – 10:30 AM

Caleb Martin is another great addition for the Sixers, especially in the era of position-less basketball. The 6-5 forward averaged 10 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season with the Miami Heat. Give the Sixers credit for being persistent in their pursuit of Martin. – 10:25 AM
