NJ’S CAMDEN: Caleb Martin signed a four-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers that is guaranteed to pay him over $32 million, turning down a deal that would have reportedly earned him $65 million over the following five seasons to stay with the Miami Heat. He is taking this decision as a lesson and moving on.

“Only specific elements proved ineffective,” Martin remarked on Tuesday at the Sixers’ New Jersey complex. There were a lot of activities that occurred behind the scenes. In the end, that choice was made after much consideration. Numerous factors had a part in how everything transpired. It’s too late to change the past, though. I’m excited to be here, to be a part of Philadelphia, and to do whatever I can.
