Caleb Martin has been through the playoff wars and performed on the big stage. He has played in 45 playoff games and shot 40% from three.
Caleb Martin is signed for the next 3.5 season. Grimes is a free agent.
Caleb Martin brings toughness that Nico seems to value. See PJ Washington, Gaffford, Naji Marshall, Morris brother, pursuing Bobby Portis.
Another add on to this is that Caleb Martin is hated in Boston. Every time they play Boston he goes off and they can't stop him. Martin is better now, he's tough and gritty, he's currently shooting 44% from 3. And Max Christie makes Grimes dispensable.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
