The Philadelphia 76ers could look very different next season.
Armed with a set of picks and tons of cap space, Daryl Morey is expected to be one of the most aggressive executives and work his magic in free agency.
However, that also means several players are going to be on their way out of the City of Brotherly Love.
With that in mind, Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports reports that multiple teams are keeping tabs on Kenyon Martin Jr, also known as KJ Martin.
Martin will be an unrestricted free agent who could be available on a veteran minimum deal.
Per Sidery, the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, and Golden State Warriors could all be logical fits for the 23-year-old wing.

Martin is a privileged athlete with a knack for finishing above the rim, and while he doesn’t have the defensive prowess of his father, he’s a productive rotation piece who could make an impact on both ends of the floor in the right opportunity.
Most of the teams mentioned by Sidery are in a tough spot in terms of their salary cap and will need to add cheap pieces to build out their rosters, thus making him a feasible option.
As for the Sixers, they’re reportedly set to go all in to get Paul George, but they could also pivot and pursue the likes of Jimmy Butler or even LeBron James if their pursuit of the Los Angeles Clippers star goes sideways, according to multiple reports.
