For a team that needs somebody desperately to fill the basket, Martin has a lot of value. But Dallas isn't in that position. Could they use him? Absolutely. But under the right circumstances.
He's a guy shooting 44% on a 10-15 team. The one thing he does better than anyone in Dallas right now is get to the FT line.
But it sure makes me nervous. This guy is right there with Shareef Abdur Rahim and Mitch Richmond in terms of good stats on bad teams.

To me though, the issue of a good scorer on a bad team usually has to do with efficiency and usage. People like Rahim could dominate the ball and score at a poor pace and no one cared because his teams sucked.
I don't really view Martin in the same light because he's such an efficient scorer and a good shooter. I definitely don't see him having an issue fitting into an offense.
Yes his defense is bad, but he doesn't strike me at all as someone that would have a problem fitting into a real offense.
