Should the Mavs take a chance on Kenyon Martin?

Kenyon Martin has been cleared by the FIBA to play in the NBA. During his stint overseas he averaged 14 points per game. Sources say the Lakers, Spurs, Clippers, Heat, and Knicks are all in pursuit of Martin's services.

Could the Mavs use him?

Rick Carlisle has done an impressive job of pulling together ab ecclectic mix of NBA wanderers like Yi Jianglin, Delonte West, and Vince Carter. Even the addition of Lamar Odom has not been an easy fit, but seems to be working now.

What is missing from the former champions is an enforcer in the paint. Both Ian Mahnmi and Brendan Haywood have done an excellent job replacing Tyson Chandler's points and rebounds, but have yet to conjure up his toughness. This is Kenyon Martin's game.

Throw in the fact that he is from Dallas and he regularly visited the AAC to watch the Mavs play and this may be the best fit.
