A low-risk, low-reward depth move that keeps Philadelphia's roster flexible. Five headlines covered the signing, all framing it as a routine two-way deal. The strongest signal here is Martin coming off a Nets waiver, limiting his perceived market value. Fans see this as a developmental gamble rather than a meaningful roster upgrade. Martin will likely shuttle between the G League and bench minutes without making a significant impact.
