Pistons forward Cartier Martin swallowed his pride and took the money.
He complained about his playing time with the Pistons last season but that did not stop him from exercising a player option which will pay him the veteran’s minimum of $1.27 million next season.
Martin, 30, signed a two-year deal with the Pistons last August. He made $1,145,000 last season and was used sparingly.
He appeared in just 23 games, his fewest since the 2011-2012 season with the Washington Wizards. Martin averaged a career low 1.6 points per game.
