Cartier Martin undecided on player option

Cartier Martin’s first season as a Piston was no jewel. “It was a pretty bad year, I ain’t lying,” the guard-forward said

“I’ll talk to my family and my agent, and have meetings with Stan, and see what’s in the best interest of myself, and then we’ll go from there,” Martin said.

Advice for Martin: Opt in.

His assessment of his season is pretty spot-on. He never earned Stan Van Gundy’s trust – which, combined with his dismal production in limited minutes, would probably scare off NBA suitors this summer.

Sure, there’s appeal in trying to find a team that would play him, but the risk is too great.
