There’s a chance that Martin will be re-routed to another team before Thursday’s 3 p.m. NBA trade deadline, according to sources.

The Sixers have struck a deal to shed the $7.9 million salary of 24-year-old forward KJ Martin. According to a source, the team is trading Martin to the Detroit Pistons along with two second-round picks -- those of the Milwaukee Bucks in 2027 and the Dallas Mavericks in 2031.

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to trade forward KJ Martin and two second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons in order to dump some salary.

Two people with knowledge of the deal say the Dallas Mavericks are acquiring Caleb Martin in a trade with Philadelphia that sends Quentin Grimes to the 76ers
