On To The Next One: Kenyon Martin

Yesterday, Benjamin Hochman of The Denver Post reported that Kenyon Martin has finally chosen a new agent after parting ways with his former long-time agent Brian Dyke back in August 2011.  Martin had fired Dyke prior to Dyke being able to negotiate a new contract for Martin, which many believe will be the most valuable contract of K-Mart’s career.  K-Mart’s most recent contract was worth $90 million+ over seven years.  Dyke was unable to get Martin an extension that he wanted prior to becoming a free agent.

Andy Miller of ASM Sports is now tasked with the job of negotiating a mega deal for Kenyon Martin.  Miller represents many talented NBA players including Martin’s former Denver Nuggets teammate, Chauncey Billups.  Martin’s former agent, Brian Dyke of Shibumi Sports, represents Darius Morris, Damian Saunders, and Atlanta Hawks superstar Josh Smith.
