Philadelphia 76ers Trade Matisse Thybulle To Miami Heat For Caleb Martin

The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly traded Matisse Thybulle to the Miami Heat for Caleb Martin.

The move comes as a surprise, as Thybulle was a key part of the 76ers' rotation last season.

He averaged 5.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 40.8% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range.

Martin, on the other hand, is a solid three-and-D wing who averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game last season while shooting 47.8% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range.

He is also a good defender, averaging 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.

The trade is likely a salary dump by the 76ers, as Martin is making $8.6 million this season, while Thybulle is making $4.3 million.

The 76ers are likely trying to clear cap space to make a run at James Harden in free agency next summer.

The Heat, on the other hand, are getting a young, talented defender in Thybulle who can help them compete for a championship this season.

Thybulle is a two-time All-Defensive Team selection and has been one of the best perimeter defenders in the league over the past few seasons.

He is also a good three-point shooter, hitting 34.8% of his attempts last season.

Martin is a solid all-around player who can contribute in a variety of ways.

He is a good scorer, rebounder, and defender, and he can also hit the three-point shot.

The trade is a good move for both teams.

The 76ers get a solid player in Martin who can help them compete for a championship this season.

The Heat get a young, talented defender in Thybulle who can help them compete for a championship this season and beyond.
