Why The Timberwolves Should Trade Kevin Martin

The Timberwolves are right to place Martin on the trade block

The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly looking to trade shooting guard Kevin Martin, who is in his third season with the team. Over those three seasons, Martin has averaged 18.2 points and 1.9 assists per game, while shooting 42.1 percent from the field. He has proven to be a valuable player for the team, but the Timberwolves’ poor play this season has their coaches looking to make some changes.

The team currently has a record of 9-16 and has lost 8 of their last 9 games. Is Kevin Martin, who is averaging 26 minutes per game, directly responsible for the Timberwolves’ struggles?
