A little less than a week after making the biggest splash of free agency, and signing Paul George, the Sixers rounded out their starting lineup by bringing in Caleb Martin.
They signed the former Heat Forward to a 4-year $32 million deal. Seemingly a bargain given what he was estimated to make going into free agency. He is another defensive minded player to throw into the starting lineup. But he is no slouch on the offensive side either, averaging over 10 points per game last year.
He is even better in the playoffs. In the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, he was a key part to the Heat beating the Celtics. He averaged 19.3 pts per game, the 2nd highest total for them behind Jimmy Butler. I the decisive game 7, he had his best game of the series finishing with 26 points and 10 rebounds.
