Underrating the value of Strome,

For Martinez to sign in New York you're looking a 1 x $6,000,000 for him to sign in high taxed New York States he signs that in no tax Nevada not high taxed New York.

Only chance to play in backyard, can cash in next year somewhere else, on this team. Nevada don't have that cap to give him either.

He's going to be 34 years old before the season starts, he's looking at his last big contract here. He'd be 35 next year with no guarantee's of getting a bigger contract. He could come home to Detroit and get a 3 x $5,500,000 and play with Seider and mentor him he'd do that before taking that deal in New York and lose more money to high taxes.

I doubt a gm would give him that right now. Most terms will take a hit, except for stars or core players. Either way, it could be any ufa d or simply keep Jones up.
