CAMDEN, N.J. — Caleb Martin says he's happy after he rejected a big contract offer from the Miami Heat to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. Martin took a deal from the Sixers for a chance with a fresh start to chase a championship with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. Martin turned down a deal that would have paid him about $65 million over the next five seasons to stay in Miami and instead signed a four-year deal guaranteed for more than $32 million with the 76ers. He declined to get into many specifics as to why he spurned the Heat. Martin says "certain things didn't work."
