The Atlanta Hawks could have a perfect landing spot for one of their heftier contracts and could even get something out of it too.

“Keep an eye on the Rockets possibly trading bouncy forward K.J. Martin to create further financial flexibility,” wrote Yahoo Sports NBA insider Jake Fischer on June 27. “Atlanta, Phoenix, and Brooklyn have been mentioned as Martin suitors dating back to the February trade deadline.”
Martin, 22, averaged 12.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists – all career-high marks – this past season.
