I watched some Clipper's games last year and I think Martin still has plenty left in him
Martin would fill some of the void that Jeffries left with his DEF, doing the dirty work, and the enforcer role, protecting Melo from incident's like with KG
I think it is a complete no brainer with our injuries for a 10 day non guaranteed contract, adding another reunion with Kidd, Melo, JR, Camby, and Felton 1/2 season
We already have players that are familiar with how he plays and what he can bring to the team
He would easily solidify our defense for 10-20 minutes a night, another problem we have had with our recent injuries
Starting with huste/energy and DEF, running the court well, he does a little bit of everything, some of which STATs will not show up on the box score
I see both James White and Kurt Thomas as dead weight, if we had to cut someone, if not I see no harm in signing them to 10 day contract to see how they would fit and how much they have left in their tank
I think Martin would be a great addition for the next couple of year's as well, playing the Reggie Evan's/Jeffres's role with that type of contract for 3 years about 5m total
He is much more skilled then both those Evans and Jeffries, he is a complete steal, and he produced last year without injuries
He can still play and defend at a high level and still has good athleticism, it would compliment Tyson Chandler with the rest of our TEAM DEFENSE
Outside of Melo, he would be our quickest PF, can hit the 12 foot jump shot to keep the defense honest, and he moves well without the ball with the ability to finish strong with good cuts to the basket
Who know's how long Rasheed will be out and if there is a chance that the injury could keep him from off the court for possibly retirement again
I would be sick if we watched him go to another contender, while we could use his presence

Would also like to add a PG that could penetrate to allow Kidd to play back SG which he has been very successful at as the secondary ball handler and sniper/spot up shooter to open up the court/spacing for the 1st unit, especially since Woodson doesn't seem to want to start JR Smith
We need someone to take the pressure of Kidd to allow him to be much more effective and have the ability to initiate the offense with penetration
I guess Jannero Pargo would make sense since Woody like's veterans and defense
He know's his role and has been a solid journy man throughout his career
At least till Felton is ready to come back healthy
