There was plenty of blame to go around with that 40-42 squad, particularly when it came to late-game failure. Martin was what he was: a good but not great player who maybe looked a little better on paper than he did on the court. In that way, he was very much a symbol of that team.

His three seasons with the Wolves should ultimately be remembered without malice — with his standing boosted some by a classy exit. He was a nice player who met expectations while simultaneously being a key member of a team that fell short of them.
